Cygnets at Findhorn ?

Today I was told that a flock of 21 Swans were in Findhorn bay the other day.

I wonder if the Nairn cygnets are among them, as a general rule cygnets join the first flock they come across - usually within 3 miles of home.

Our residents are recharging the batteries and chilling out - literally, the weather is still not conducive to mating and getting on with nesting yet ! In saying that, the Pen is flitting around picking at algae and silt and other mineral nutrients getting ready for egg production.

All the plant life is behind this year, so it's possible the swans mating season will follow this trend.
