Female Mute Swan on Nest - I don't think any eggs laid yet. The nest was constructed two years ago after the Park Authorities put a few sand banks in. It was made and used by another pair of swans (1st year 2 cygnets, 2nd year - 5 cygnets) but the resident male swan died early this year and the nest and pond has been taken over by a new couple.

And today's song is from the legendary Marc Bolan and T Rex (the original rockin' guyliner dude - "Ride a White Swan, like the people of the Beltane, wear your hair long, babe you cant go wrong......"
