Nairn Swans Have Evolved !

The Swans are on the verge of nest building and hopefully giving us another successful season.

Yesterday was encouraging to see both of them gathering nesting material together, and the chance to get an unusual photo shot ! Just a matter of being in the right place at the right time, I think I'll call it Swantisaurus crabicus ! It looked quite spooky and out of this world .

After the pen showed the cob where the exact nesting spot should be, he dutifully did his best to iron out last years bumps by pushing down with his chest and sitting in the depression for about an hour. She is still picking at algae, minerals and any green shoots she can find. I hope the sun keeps shining and we get some green growth after the long hard winter.
