Thank you very much Roger. She didn't seem too phased by us - maybe she thought we couldn't see her!

She looks very elegant on her nest. A lovely image. I like her hidden in the reeds too. Very similar to the one probably nesting at Birnie.

Ecobird club has replied to Jean
Thank you very much Jean. It was a terrific sight and I am pleased we saw it before the lockdown came into force. I looked up Birnie Loch, - I didn't realise it had won awards. It looks lovely. Hopefully you will be able to get back there by the time the babies are born.

It may still be open. There are people nearby who could walk to it but I'm being good and not driving for exercise. I get tempted mind you.

Oh what a beautiful sight Carol. You did very well to get a clear shot of the swans face!
Their nests are huge aren't they! Must work very hard to get them ready.
Take care and have a good day.

Ecobird club has replied to Rosalyn Hilborne club
Thank you very much Rosa. I must admit to being thrilled, - it was a first for me. Yes the nests are huge, I think both swans help to build the nest, but it must still take some time to construct.
Take care and have a good day, - and I hope Rodney is behaving himself!
