08.05.2025 06:22 β π 112 π 13 π¬ 11 π 2This is from a couple of days ago. Unfortunately we are down to 7 cygnets now. This is just nature. There are lots of things that can predate them when they are so small.

2025 cygnets
2nd May 7/8 hatched
3rd May No 8 hatched
Clever little fluffers always work out how to use the ramp. This ramp has been used successfully for a few years now.
04.05.2025 07:16 β π 133 π 10 π¬ 10 π 1If you see any video, and donβt count 8 cygnets, please check back in older posts before commenting that that you βcan only seeβ¦ cygnetsβ. Iβll be sure to tell you if we lose any. At this stage they are very vulnerable to all sorts of predators including very large fish, magpies, crows, foxes etc
04.05.2025 07:14 β π 81 π 5 π¬ 7 π 0All eight hatched. One 24 hours after the others so itβs only a day old, and busy trying to keep up with its older siblings. And yes it does catch up to them in the water.
04.05.2025 07:10 β π 371 π 43 π¬ 18 π 7Yes magic nature. They all need to hatch together to be kept safe.
