After the unseasonal and traumatic events of recent days, thankfully local conditions have improved and calm has returned to the riverside.
Sue and Slim are doing a great job, and Sue is following her Mothers footsteps. Feeding time by the Trust with special provisions for the cygnets are a great source of protein for them.
Looking at them feeding close at my feet, is a repeat of the days 4 years ago when Sue herself was doing the same thing.
Enjoy the short footage of all getting stuck in below, and the pose of the single cygnets...how cute can you get ?
Frosty weather gone for the time being, replaced by grey November skies, and dark before five.
Our Swan Family still together and more mature by the day. Spring tides this week and happily floating away some of the trees washed down by the last spate. Short video of the Cygnets feeding below.
The Cygnets are now 2 weeks old, short video below of Cygnets feeding on newly picked grass.
They have been getting soft lettuce, soft lawn grass, and today I tried them with chick crumb starter feed, this is the same feed the ducklings get at home. They also have fresh wholemeal bread, Mealworm and Dandelion leaves. Already they are nearly twice the size at hatching.
