New beginnings

The swans have a new egg.  It's dangerously close to the Boardwalk, where hundreds of children (often with their grandparents) will be walking over the coming months.

The proud father to be has already shown that he is somewhat protective.

But as they had seven cygnets last year, these Wolseley Centre stars will no doubt take it all in their stride.

Extra photo : the tame robin in the bird hide, waiting for his mealworms.

Edit: I'm not brave. This was my telephoto lens.
