Norwich swans - NOT amateur radio

These, and many more, swans were on the River Wensum in Norwich earlier in the week.

Amazing to think stones for Norwich cathedral came all the way from France centuries ago up here!

These swans are very determined. 

Until quite recently, builders were making a facility for National Grid (electricity) storage batteries within a few metres!  It is good to see them trying again rebuilding their nest.

These swans were at Ely on Thursday.

Swan on nest - NOT amateur radio

"Well we have nested here for years and we are NOT moving just because there is a building site 3m behind us!". 

Swans seen on our walk earlier.

Young swans - NOT amateur radio

On our return from Cambridge we got stuck behind a tractor, so we took a detour and chanced upon these young Mute Swans and a few ducks. They look like this year's young losing their grey feathers and starting out with white ones.

A few days ago we went for a walk at nearby Anglesey Abbey and saw these mute swans near the water mill.  They are always there.  In the summer the flowers are out in the herbaceous border, although at this time of  year they look dead.

As mentioned before, things are much later this year.
