All at Sea

After another deluge the river was almost as bad as the August flood with a raging torrent carrying trees and all kinds of debris into the Sea.

With a heavy swell the swans almost got caught out on the shore, with the injured cygnet getting separated and marooned on the beach at one stage.

It was unable to get over the breakers but eventually rejoined the family after being chased by a dog.

All managed to return to the harbour in the afternoon, 

while some of the ducks took refuge on the swans island.
