I went walking in the wetlands yesterday and to my surprise there was mother and father swan with 4 signets, are they the ones that were nesting closer to our house some weeks back.
I watched this pair for weeks or more truly one swan who didn’t seem to have a partner, which I started to believe was having a phantom pregnancy, she was there for so long alone.
One day while walking on the golf course I looked across at this seeming lone parent, there at the edge of the shallow stretch of water where they had built their nest was a very fat and healthy fox, my fears where that they would never get their brood away from home especially as the water level was going down by the day.
So not knowing for sure if this is my family I am happy in the thought that they are.
