The swans have been swimming about with their cygnets this week, Louise has got some good video footage of them, Over the next week we will edit all the best bits together and then put them up here in the video pages in the mean time you can view some photos I have taken of the cygnets in the photography pages.

We went to a nature reserve today, A nice little place it was just off a main road in a small town, I'm not going to say exactly where but on our way round we saw a hole in a tree and thought that woodpeckers might have made it, Anyway me been a bit curious wanted to know what was in the hole, Most of the time it is just crisp packets and beer cans, You couldn't just look inside because it was pitch black so I stuck my camera in the hole opening and with my flash on I took a picture. I got a surprise when I looked at what had been taken..
Now we have identified this as a Nuthatch but if we are wrong can you tell us what it is..

Over the last 7 months or so we have been feeding some Swans that have been hanging around the canal, We are sure that they recognise us now as when we first saw them they would hiss at Horace and get all defensive, Now though they don't bother with him even when he is close when we are feeding them.

Here are a couple of photos of the male Swan trying to eat my camera. Bless
