Getting Organised
The resident swans are getting the nest site organised, and the pen is visiting the shoreline for minerals and seaweed. She is picking at whatever sparse green shoots she can find. Weather is still not conducive to nesting and the vegetation is still non existent in the river. However the days are longer and spring cannot be that far away. High spring Tides, and
I notice the river rising fast tonight due to melting snow. We had a visit from 4 young swans the other day and I thought it was our cygnets coming back. On close inspection I could see it was older birds. They landed in the Lagoon that has formed just in front of the coastguard shed, I think the large shingle bed will end up against the beach in the not too distant future.
