The poorly cygnets health has improved steadily over the past week. I have been feeding it a costly high protein diet of Dried mealworms alongside the usual Wheat and maintenance pellets.
Today both Slim and Sue were absent from the river and only the 2 cygnets swimming around the island.
There was a cold brisk northerly wind blowing up river, after a small feed from me and a few calls for their Mum and Dad, both cygnets took off towards the Sea.
Later in the afternoon all the family were together again. Looks like Sue and Slim are preparing them for departure. Being their first brood, they have not figured out how to get them to leave home yet !
