Nesting Swans - Hartham Common

Just a precaution .... Two very proud Swan Parents have decided to make a home and have 5 beautiful signets on the side of the riverbank outside the canoe huts, by the footpath, on the edge of Hartham Common. Even though they think it is probably a very nice home, it is not very sheltered, so the proud parents are being very protective and warning off passers-by who are innocently using the footpath .... So be careful not to get in the cross-fire of a cross swan and make sure dogs are on a leash and children don't get too near ... but take a look at the signets if you dare!!!

That lovely I do hope the remain safe and no one decides to "worry them" or throw things at them as has happened in the past. There is a pair of Cananda Geese on the river at Tewin Bury with 12 gosselins you can see why there are more CG's than swans around! I have pair of blackbirds nesting just outside my office window, waiting to see how many babies they have.
