The Good, Bad And Brood-iful



Been quite a first week for the cygnets, thankfully the remaining 7 are strong and healthy. 



Another weeks growth should see them safe from the Crows ! 



They have drawn quite a following this week and many got a chance to take some great snaps. However, big spate on the river right now and very dangerous for the cygnets. 



Sue is meanwhile keeping them warm away from the dangerous currents.



 Mandarin duck has also had attention and has enjoyed the island for the past 3 weeks. 



On the down side, we still have fly tippers dumping their waste behind the Seaman's hall. Several large bags were gathered up by Morag and Iona and placed in the large refuse bin close by. 





Disco and Donnie were standing by the pool watching their offspring take the place over.

The conversation between them probably went something like this, " What have we done ?"
