Field Notes

Description:

This cob was showboating around the pond, chasing off ducks and geese. I later found his female on a nest in the bushes, so will keep an eye out for cygnets!

Habitat:

Temperate freshwater areas, lakes and ponds

I hope so, Scott, I leave on a 5 week research trip this Saturday so I want to see them before I go!!

Thank you very much! I'm getting worried now as there is no sign of the cygnets yet, but we'll see!
