One Month On

Cygnets are a month old and already bigger than Mallard ducks! 

Now eating the same feed as the parents ensures rapid growth.

Noticed also on the tidal reaches, a Cormorant drying it's wings, and a Goosander with 2 chicks. 

Ready for release tomorrow, the female Duck injured by the drakes. Has made a full recovery after two weeks treatment - and hopefully avoid the villains now.
