On our last visit to the nearby wetland we were delighted to discover that the local swan couple have laid an egg. Last year they laid three. Unless there are a few more eggs on the way there will be only one cygnet. Since the one egg has been allowed to stay 'cool' there may still be more. It is nice to see the pair produce again. Barb described the large egg colour 'powder blue with a touch of turquoise. It is wonderful that the swans have chosen a nest position that gives us a good view. The 'exposed' view is a tradeoff for the swans to have a location far more protected from the winter winds.
It is a pity that some people have no respect for the environment.
