Two Months Old

Cygnets are 2 months old and like peas in a pod...except for the little one which lags behind. 

Seems like it's always last to the food and first to finish, also stays mainly on the outside of the brood. 

The biggest ones intimidate it, but I'm hoping this is a phase that will pass in time. Still no real sign of Sue starting to moult , but should start this month. 

Meanwhile Donnie and Disco have both moulted together at home, and look pretty happy together with their offspring gone to the river. 

The Mother duck with 9 ducklings on the river,  is still surviving and thriving. Short video below.

Trust Ducks - Donnie And Disco

The beautiful early spring weather is already prompting the birds into mating mode. 

The Swans have been mating several times already, and Donnie and Disco the Resident Trust ducks have also started.

Still a little too early for nesting, but having a bit of practice does not go amiss and keeps the motors running! 

Both ducks are in great condition and I look forward to another successful brood from Disco in a couple of months. Short video below of Disco having a wash and brush up below.
