Looks like the cygnets will going very soon, they are often on their own as Popeye and Penny start practising their nest making skills. It was the 6th January last year when they left, so I would imagine it will be pretty close to that.
The ducklings too are restless, and I will release them into the river next week, they are capable of flight and will be 9 weeks old next Tuesday. They have already flown several yards across the lawn, so need to get to the river soon ! (Short video below)

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.

Ducks often nest in gardens and unusual places in the Town, where the hatched ducklings are unable to get to a watercourse safely. The Trust will catch Mother and ducklings and get them to safety. Please do not throw bread to ducklings as this will only attract predators that will kill them.
