It's 2 weeks since the cygnets were banished from the river and I have checked they're whereabouts since they left. They appear to love home so much they are sticking close by the shore, west of the river mouth. I suspect they will hang around until they join a passing flock, or the parents will escort them away to Dalcross or Findhorn maybe. Meanwhile
they are managing to survive on seaweed at low tide, and they were looking healthy enough today when I saw them. I was pleasantly surprised when they recognised and came over to me, bobbing around in the surf. The 3 males were together and the young pen on her own about 100 metres away. The fresh Northerly wind was pretty chilly, but the days are stretching and the parents are enjoying a bit of
peace and R & R.
