Conservationist tracks swan migration across Channel by motorised glider

A conservationist has crossed the Channel in a motorised paraglider as part of a near three-month project to track the migration of swans across Europe. Sacha Dench, who works for Britain's Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust, made the crossing from just outside Calais in northern France to Dover, southern England, on Monday. The Flight of The Swans website tracking her journey, which began in arctic Russia, said she was the first woman to fly over the Channel in a paramotor.
