Snowy White Swans

With Today's Spring Equinox there is no spring weather to match,  and the winter forecast is for yet more Snow on the way.  Ah well - better now than April and May, for many of the birds are already nesting. 

The Swans are well into their nesting preparations and Penny is seeking out minerals and algae nutrients. Snowing or not, she is moulding the nest site for this years brood.

I have done some remedial work to the island that was eroded by the big Storm surge a few months back, with still a little more to do.

Penny is very fastidious right now and spending all her time seeking out Roots, Algae, and minerals for egg production. These are vital to her system and another successful breeding season. She has been out at sea for weed and minerals, and the river and harbour for Algae and roots. Her partner Popeye has finally seen off the young pretender, and a determined calm has returned to the river. They're looking in great condition for the creation of a new generation .
