Pen Chases Mink

The Pen showed her mettle tonight by seeing off the Harbour Mink. Both Swan parents hissed and chased the Mink along the harbour wall, but the pen in particular was the most courageous.

I could not get the mink on video (see below ) because it was beneath the harbour wall, but I think you will get the message if you turn up the sound. After the chase the mink climbed up to it's lair within the harbour walls where I got a pic, but it was so dark and the flash is poor at distance.

The pen is looking good and her new coat of feathers is almost complete, flying lessons should start almost anyday now.
