Swan update, Gheluvelt Park, Worcester: Saturday, 16th June, 2018.

12:00-ish.
Two mallards are using the swans nest as a comfy place to get some rest.
Looks like the swans have finally abandoned the last egg (of which there is no sign).
Mallard nice and relaxed now the swans aren't boppin' him 
every time he came too close to the nest.
Swan family out on the pond.
Take my photo, I'm 14 days old.

Things learnt from chats with folk today:
* there were 3 cygnets but the first one was predated within 24 hours.
* no cygnets have survived in the park over the last 5 years.

We'll keep our fingers firmly crossed then.
