Valentine's



With Spring like temperatures, was nice to see the pairing and bonding on the riverside.


Valentine's day seemed to be echoed by the birds.



Duke and Penny enjoying their new freedom, and my Woodpigeon pals likewise preening and bonding, all very Spring like.

Perfect Pair


Both Popeye and Penny have finished moulting and re - grown their new feathers, they are resplendent.


Flight training has already started out in the Firth with good weather conditions and no danger of collisions. 


The bonding continues with the traditional head nodding and heart to heart meetings, a perfect pair !

Departure Looms for Cygnets



Swans are creatures of habit, and ours are no exception. This unseasonal mild spell is coming at just the right time for Popeye and Penny to start bonding and get rid of the cygnets, and see in the start of another year ! The daily nipping is getting ever more aggressive, and the inevitable is only days away ! How beautiful the cygnets look, and in excellent condition too.
