When we have time we visit our nearby wetland to check out how the swan couple are going. We are being told that the male swan is doing most of the sitting, but we are not sure about that from what we have read on the internet. Certainly the female had to lay the eggs and the laying seemed to take a few weeks, one egg at a time. The couple settled on six as revealed last blog post and the chance siting we had today confirms that six is officially set. Soon we'll be very excited to see six little cygnets swimming about. Peter made a video of the day which can be viewed HERE. In one of the scenes a Eurasian Coot ventures onto the nest for a close encounter. The music in the video is 'Walkerman Waltz' composed and played by Peter's brother.
