Simply Superb Swans: The Beauty Of Birds
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-beauty-of-birds.html
Saturday, 25 July 2015. The Beauty Of Birds. Some shots I took earlier this year of other beautiful but common birds. The song Thrush - not as common as it used to be. Then this Starling who likes to nest in the cooker hood vent of one of the harbour street houses, and 2 Swallows gathering nesting material. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Simply Superb Swans: Feelings - Even Ducks Have Them.
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015/07/feelings-even-ducks-have-them.html
Wednesday, 15 July 2015. Feelings - Even Ducks Have Them. Yet more laments - the beautiful white duck is gone! After only 4 days Blondie has lost 4 of her ducklings to the black backed gull. This is in addition to her sister who also lost her only duckling yesterday, it has been a heartbreaking week for me, after all the care and nurture of the past 8 weeks. The lament is also for the mother who lost her only duckling yesterday, she is still looking and calling for it today, how sad is that? Http:/ www&#...

Simply Superb Swans: Killed Within Hours
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015/07/killed-within-hours.html
Tuesday, 14 July 2015. After only 5 hours in the River , The newly released duckling has been killed by a black backed gull and crows. It is hard for me to take, having nurtured this duckling for 7 weeks and only putting it in the river hours ago. It was almost fully grown, so it gives you an idea of what little chance ducklings have, faced with these kind of predators. Labels: Black- backed gull. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

Simply Superb Swans: June 2015
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, 28 June 2015. Harbour Street Ducklings Progress. The Harbour Street ducklings are now 5 weeks old and fast outgrowing the Aviary. However for their own safety I will have to keep them another 2 or 3 weeks before release. The only white one is a real beauty, I hope it's a female, but either way it will almost certainly carry the white genes. The other siblings are particularly dark just like their Grandmother was, and they too will probably carry the white genes. (Short video clip below). Ever sin...

Simply Superb Swans: In Good Order
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-good-order.html
Friday, 31 July 2015. The last Day of July and still waiting on Summer! This has been the poorest summer weather I can ever remember - surely we will see some blue skies before the clocks change! With cold nights the river birds have been keen for their food and acting as though autumn has arrived. The cygnets are growing fast, and now look like young swans, wing development is now the final part of the growing process, ready for flying lessons in September. Cold nights cosy coop. New life on the river.

Simply Superb Swans: Getting Stuck In
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015/07/getting-stuck-in.html
Saturday, 18 July 2015. The Cygnets are growing rapidly and love getting stuck in to the supplementary wheat and poultry pellets. The Glebe road rescued ducklings are now 2 weeks old, I will have to keep them another 6 weeks since the predators are likely to have them if released before that time. Labels: getting stuck in.

Simply Superb Swans: August 2015
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015_08_01_archive.html
Monday, 31 August 2015. Last Of The Seasons Ducklings? Was told about a duck with 11 ducklings last week coming out of the Cemetery burn, she has now turned up near Merryton with only 2 left. It seems the Crows are as bad up by the Jubilee bridge as they are down here. If you happen to see the ducklings please don't throw bread at them,. We have dozens of gulls near the Merryton bridge and the ducklings are too small to eat bread anyway. Perhaps this is the last of the seasons ducklings. Not everyone's f...

Simply Superb Swans: May 2015
http://simplysuperbswans.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, 31 May 2015. She is now beside her sister in the garage coop, she will share the Aviary for a month before I put them back in the river. Seems like we have 2 sisters, one who preferred Fishertown and one who preferred the west end! Saturday, 30 May 2015. The Delight and The Danger. The miserable May weather continues unabated, if it wasn't for the delight of the ducklings I think I would be really depressed about it. Labels: delight and danger. Friday, 29 May 2015.
