GOOD FRIDAY
Love is in the air for Penny and Duke on this Good Friday.
What a lovely surprise to see them getting close and ultimately mating.
This is quite a change from last year when Duke was weak and ill.
Today all systems were go and he was synchronising the rituals, and behaving much like Popeye did in the past.
After mating at high tide, he proceeded to the nest and dutifully guarded it.
All the signs are pointing to a normal nesting season, fingers crossed we get some cygnets this year.
