WE ARE CUSTODIANS OF THE PLANET AND HAVE A DUTY TO CARE FOR IT. For the past 18 years I've had the privilege of watching and caring for the resident Swans on our local river estuary. I have been charmed and fascinated by their parental skills and beauty in the water, they are Simply Superb Swans.

Seven Up !
Seven cygnets so far, and Penny still insists on sitting on the remainder. However if they don't hatch by tomorrow then they probably wont hatch at all. When the parents give up on the nest, I'll get a chance to inspect the ones that don't hatch. Weather is very cold, and my fingers were feeling the bite today. The cygnets don't need food for the first couple of days and live on reserve yolk sac. However they will have to take to the water soon !
interfering with a swans nest or eggs carries a maximum penalty of 6 months in prison and / or a £5000 fine
