With a big swell, crashing waves and neap tide, the Cygnet along the west beach is having a harder time feeding. Today she decided to return to the river and was immediately pounced on by the parents ! The Pen ran along the river surface and took off briefly before landing and scaring the Cygnet away ! It's a tough world growing up, with all the dangers
of attack around you. Even when she is along the shore she is always on the look out for dogs or anyone getting too close. There are those who would hurt the wildlife too, like the latest on the SSPCA website - http://www.scottishspca.org/news/550_dead-swan-found-on-river-dee .

I was wondering why all my garden birds had disappeared today, until I looked closely at my bird feeder tree !
The sparrowhawk had returned and was perched waiting for another meal, it had already scored, with a pile of feathers close by.
