June 5th – I saw what I assume are the Watermead swan family on the canal mid afternoon; sadly they seem to have lost a cygnet – most likely to a fox now they’re growing so large. It’s sad, but natural – the fox has to feed too, and it’s why swans have such large clutches.
The remainder look healthy and are feeding well, and are growing at an alarming rate.
Let’s hope mum and dad select safe roosting sites at night from now on.
