Changed Times


Still waiting on the Cygnets maiden flights, I suspect they have already had a few short lessons and I haven't been around to see them. With neap tides over the next week maybe they will chance a few flights up and down the river, although any high winds will curtail the chances.

I see the goosanders back in the river, and wonder if the change in the riverbed will make a change in the species visiting the place, we'll just have to wait and see. It's so shallow all over the place that the herons will be spoilt for choice fishing spots !

Hard to believe that just 4 and half months ago the cygnets were still in their shells ! See enclosed clip when they were less than a week old !

Now check out this clip 4 months later having a grass feed, just listen to them !
