Today as Expected, Slim and Sue's cygnets have hatched, so far we have 7, but there is still a chance of more as Sue continues to sit.
My special rapport with Slim and Sue, allowed me the privilege of fairly close contact with the happy event.
The weather thankfully was benign, and even the relentless North wind dropped for the day.
The Trust forward thinking by providing the moat height and Ramp for the transit of the cygnets proved their worth.
Sue led the first born up the Turf from the moat. This is a good example of how to interfere with nature in the best possible way, by providing a ramp.
Can I remind people NOT to throw bread to them as they are too young to consume it, and it would only attract Gulls. Short video below in between Sue's short time off the nest. Enjoy.
