Hard Going 6 Months On




The Cygnets are now 6 months old, still here and looking very healthy. 



The River level is very low again, and this makes it hard going for the Swans making their way upstream. 



People are so used to seeing the image of calm graceful swans gliding along, but not always possible in a shallow spate river.



Today as always, they came for their expertly prepared feed, courtesy of the River Nairn Swans and Waterfowl Trust - Wheat, poultry game pellets, mixed wild bird seeds, carrots, porridge oats, and Wholemeal.



No accident that our Swans, are the healthiest in Scotland, Thanks to the Trust members and Local swan expert.
Pics show the effort getting upstream, and the reward when they got there. Short video of them enjoying their feed below.
