WE ARE CUSTODIANS OF THE PLANET AND HAVE A DUTY TO CARE FOR IT. For the past 18 years I've had the privilege of watching and caring for the resident Swans on our local river estuary. I have been charmed and fascinated by their parental skills and beauty in the water, they are Simply Superb Swans.

Training Time
Time is rolling on and August marks the start of training for many young birds. The Pen has re-taken the lead role on training up the cygnets for their first flying lessons. This is usually around the end of the month. The ducks too are learning to fly and pretty soon all this years young will be airborne. The fabulous Mother of 12 is still on the go guarding her brood and the adopted orphan, none have yet fallen victim to the Mink. Even Steven the injured gull is honing his skills, running around the garden grabbing at sticks and stones. (see vid below).
