Getting Stuck In

The cygnets have been getting some flying practice on the river, so I'm told - haven't been there to get some photo shots yet. They are always around for the their food though, and get stuck in when I turn up. (Short vid below eating the wheat and carrots.)

Carbon Copy Re-run

In what appears to be a re - run of last year, all the cygnets bar one have gone today. It makes you wonder if the Swans have a built in Gregorian calendar ! The conditions are similar to last year with benign seas and high pressure building, optimum for cygnet departure. The parents are on the lookout patrolling the estuary, while the last remaining cygnet enjoyed some wheat and carrots.
