Swan and cygnet

There were actually two cygnets. One had already gone to sleep, this one was just snuggling under the duvet!

Rescued swans - without having an arm broken?

I know that does make me laugh, Dave when I have gone to pick one up before people have said "be careful mate the can break your arm/leg!", have you ever tried to break a brick with a wine glass?

all the unmarked swans belong to her, she can do as she likes with them

curried swan, swan pie, swan in the hole, swan cakes, battered swan--- endless list of what you do with one

We have an especially tame one on my syndicate, very considerate of lines, lifts legs right above and doesn't disturb a thing.

They also drown the canada geese chicks, which are becoming a massive problem.
