Swan family returns, River Severn, Worcester: Saturday, 8th August, 2020.

 

 One adult swan and four cygnets about 200 yards upstream.

Surely they can't hear Vicky shaking the swan food from right up there?

Of course they can.This is the first time we have seen them in eight days.Hopefully, the other two cygnets are with Dad. Fingers crossed.

They're all out today.Also we saw a kingfisher twice (could have been the same one). First sighting since February. 

And we also saw an egret flying downstream. We have never seen one of those here before. 

So, all in all, a good day.

Evening dessert:

Rasberry pistachio ice cream, with fresh rapberries and redcurrants, and amaretti biscuits.
