Wildfowl -- swans, geese and ducks -- have been the subject of poetry, fables, folklore and music, and a source of inspiration to writers, artists, historians and naturalists alike. Historically, they have featured prominently in our diet -- more recently they have become the most widely domesticated group of birds.

David Cabot has been obsessed with wildfowl for nearly sixty years.

He focuses on their social behaviour, feeding ecology and population dynamics, and in particular their seasonal migration patterns. He
