Swan Mum of the Year
A mother mute swan attends to her cygnets at Abbotsbury Swannery, Dorset, UK, in May. The arrival of mute swan cygnets is traditionally seen as the start of summer, and it’s said the Benedictine monks who owned the swannery between about 1000 and the 1540s believed the first cygnet signalled the season’s first day.

#GavinNewsom wants you to come to #California and kill #swans, and has made it legal to shoot them without any license or permit.

A recent #CalMatters report citing state wildlife researchers’ data on #MuteSwans estimated there are more than 12,000 of these 25lb and up orange beaked EU import birds in he state, a ten fold increase in just 3 years.

A study on east coast found they eat up to 8lbs a day of submerged #aquatic vegetation, destroying #habitat and food sources for native species faster than #grasses could ever recover.

My chums, the Union Canal swans on a rather dreich evening yesterday.

I do wish they wouldn't choose the towpath to settle down for preening & naps, I worry some cyclist charging by too fast on an e-bike will hit one (most are careful but there are some zipping along at very high speed with zero concern for pedestrians, other bikes or wildlife).

Astoundingly cute baby swans (cygnets) fluffing about in the river.
Their parents saw me and came over.
But I didn’t have food,
so the cygnets became sleepy.
and fell asleep.

Who’s afraid of the Big Bad . . . Crow? These Cygnets were not happy, that’s for sure. Neither was their Mum, just out of picture, who soon sent the Corvid packing! Photographed at Brandon Marsh, near Coventry, yesterday.
