Defending the Territory

With last weeks high tide a lone Swan decided to land in the river and check the place out. Our resident pair wasted no time in chasing it off above the road bridge. Swans are notoriously territorial and wont tolerate other swans on their patch ! The residents are showing no signs of chasing their offspring away, If they are still here by November I reckon they may stay the winter. The injured cygnet is improving further and is using the bad leg a little more each day
