Battle Stations !


October is generally the month when cygnets start leaving the nesting area and join up with other youngsters, it is also the time when newly bonded pairs start looking around for new territory that might be suitable for future nesting. Yesterday saw a young pair fly into Popeye and Penny's territory, this prompted an immediate battle stations response from our residents - it took them only minutes to see off the newcomers, watched by their 3 cygnets. All returned triumphant !
