Sacha Dench becomes first woman ever to cross English Channel
A conservationist, who has been following the annual migration of Bewick's swans, has become the first woman ever to cross the English Channel using a motorized para-glider.
41-year-old Sacha Dench, dubbed the “Human Swan”, has set the record as part of an epic journey tracking migrating swans from Arctic Russia.
Dench followed the migration path of the Bewick Swan over six and a half thousand kilometers in ten weeks.
She has been travelling from Russia since September and has landed on British soil using just a parachute wing.
Her purpose was to uncover new science about why numbers of the Bewick's swans going back to overwinter in the UK has halved.
