Penny and Duke are still keeping us all waiting on the cygnets hatch. Weather has been perfect for any hatching birds right now, finally some warmth and insect life around.
Spotted another small new brood of 6 ducklings today, but sadly we have lost about 3 broods already to the Crows and Gulls.
Meanwhile Disco and her brood of 12 plus 2 harbour rescued ones are growing fast. Unfortunately I doubt if I'll be able to put all the recently rescued ones together with Disco's lot as they are likely to get bullied, being over 2 weeks younger.
They now have to share the Trust facilities, with the wee ones getting the Aviary during the day, and the older lot having it at night. Keeping them safe is the priority until they are ready for release.
