Vicky feeds the swans and ducks in Gheluvelt Park with Swan Food.
They like it.
15 days old.
Chatting with fellow swan watchers.
Note the council workers in the background who are now removing the nest.
Stuff learnt from today's chats:
There were 7, not 5, eggs originally.
They were laid about 5 weeks ago.
2 eggs were taken by rats.
The first born cygnet was taken in the first 24 hours by a gull.
Our fingers remain firmly crossed for the surviving cygnet.
The nest has been removed (the mallards will miss it).
Feeding swan food to the mallards.
Tasty. Much better than bread.
