Good Cheer New Year !



Good News for some amid the viral gloom. Briget appears to have found a mate...at least for now. 



Our Man Duncan has been feeding her daily at Loch Flemington which is frozen for the most part.



A few days ago when he was feeding her , another Swan worked it's way over the ice to join in. From the looks of it, might be another single male. I was hoping this might happen, how fortuitous if this is the case!



Meanwhile on the river, Slim and Sue have been taking the cygnets for daily excursions along the coast, perhaps preparing them for eventual separation. 




Colder weather means ravenous birds and the Trust ensures they are fed. 



Cygnets are getting whiter, but still softly whistle like tiny newly hatched.

Short video below after feeding.
