Swan news

My local swans (AKA Don and Betty) no new cygnets yet, but they have built the nest.

Thanks to Davina for giving me a break from my admin with this news from ancient swannery Abbotsbury. How could I not post a link? It's from Dorset and it's good news about swans; it could only be a more perfect news story if it also featured cheese, swords or cake. The videos on the swannery site are delightful and I have now discovered that there exists the job 'swanherd' - fabulous. I have been meaning to visit this place since I was a girl, but it was just too far from Bournemouth and we had no car. Now I shall plan a trip.
