Cygnets 2 Weeks Old



Our Cygnets are thriving at 2 weeks, and already behaving like grown ups.



 Close observations show them paddle stirring the riverbed to stir the food to the surface. 



The necks are growing fastest to reach down further for food. Thankfully the high river levels have subsided and the threat from  predatory Crows almost over. 



 Slim and Sue are likely to be taking them down to the shore soon, to sample the great outdoors and seaweed cuisine. Their back riding days almost at an end. Short video below showing close ups feeding.
