Some good news. the swans nesting in the canal here have had a 100% success rate with 4 young swans just hatched.
Watching the whole thing close by over the last 7 weeks (including the 6 week incubation period) has been a privilege.
The whole thing was very relaxed from beginning to end. Theres a lot to be learnt from their peaceful unhurried way of life.
We hope for the best for them meanwhile.
