This incredible woman is flying 7000 kms alongside Bewick's Swans. It will take her 10 weeks on a motorized parachute from Russia to the UK to help save endangered Bewick's Swans. She is almost at the end of her journey and due to arrive in London any day now.

You can watch a short film about it here:

If she succeeds in her "human swan" endeavour she will be the first woman to paramotor over the English Channel.

This really reminds me of what Canadian Bill Lishman did with Geese and Cranes and the movie they made on his life called "Fly away Home". For anyone who doesn't know Bill was the first person to fly with Geese and Cranes in an ultralight. He trained them to follow him and he led their migration route.

Cheers,
