So instead I’ll do a very brief no think post.
It is couple of weeks since I have seen our swans, I haven’t been worried because Io has been keeping an eye on them and reporting on their progress every few days.
Mum and the remaining baby are still doing very well.
I think they are a favourite of many locals and have become used to being fed. When I arrived at their pond they came steaming straight over towards me.
Baby continues to grow although not quite at the same explosive rate.
He/she is fully feathered now although he/she doesn’t seem to have fully grown flight feathers yet.
Baby’s beak is just beginning to change colour taking on a hint of the red that it will one day be.
As I left I captured this swamp hen.
And this coot popped out of the reeds:
With a baby in tow.
Unlike baby swans, baby coots are, well there is no other way to say it, really, really ugly!
