The weather does not bode well in the short term, with forecasts of cold and snow on the way again. This will hit any new ducklings about to hatch, after all the good weather in March. Lack of insects and warmth is bad news for any new ducklings during April. The swans have now settled into the long incubation period, and Popeye can now take time out to fully recover. The foot injury is now healing over with scar tissue and he is looking really healthy. The patch of sprouting Himalayan balsam that was sprayed has all but died, but a few small bit's have been missed, I might pull them out by hand later on. Doing the right thing at the right time saves time and money.
