Cob Shares the Load...Just

After 4 years rearing cygnets, the Cob seems to have finally given in to sharing the load. This afternoon I saw for the first time ever, the Cob allowing a cygnet onto his back. He has always avoided this like the plague, and the long suffering pen has had to do all the work. I'm sure all the women viewers can empathise with the pen, she still has the biggest load !

Meanwhile I got a chance to check out superduck and 20 ducklings still in tow. She is a remarkable duck and constantly gives out vocal instructions. ( See video clip below.)
