Enforced Absence



 Regular viewers will have noticed an absence of up to date blog posts. I have in fact been hospitalised for the past week - now happily back home.



 Hopefully I can now recover at my own pace, and get back to caring for our birds ! 



Luckily, I was able to arrange some help during my enforced absence, and Trust member David Thomson managed to feed the river birds every day. The garden ducks and injured pigeon were also taken care of by other Trust members, Thanks to all of them ! 



Today, for the first time in a week, I was able to resume my usual duties. All of the birds were pleased to see me back, in spite of a snow melt rise in the river. Short shaky video below, as ducks get spooked by a dog.

On Guard


Penny our resident mother Swan, has now settled down to incubate her clutch. So far this years weather has been kind to the birds, and things look promising for another good year on the river.

Popeye her mate is now on full time guard duty, and looks in excellent condition for the job. This guy is a rib breaker, I can vouch for that !!  It's good to know we now have 120 River Trust members also keeping an eye out for their welfare.
