I have been charmed and fascinated by their parental skills and beauty in the water, they are Simply Superb Swans.

Happier Days For New Generation
Our new generation Nairn Swans have been drawing the crowds after recent events and press coverage.
The weather too is now much more benign and the cygnets are thriving.
Slim and Sue have been keeping a close watch on them, and short shrift to any potential predators.
Some people are still ignoring advice not to feed the gulls, and this causes distress to the Swans and Cygnets ! Throwing large pieces of white bread only attracts the gulls, SO PLEASE DON'T DO IT !
Slim and Sue appear to have gotten over the loss of their 4th cygnet and the remaining 3 are already growing after one week.
I had to cut down a giant hogweed on the island today before it flowered and had the opportunity to take some pics afterwards.
Some were taken before the demise of the cygnet but worthy of a reminder of the joy of the new generation - enjoy.
