mum and dad swan

these pictures were taken while they were away, initially to check him out as it was suspected that he had artritis, as he was having problems walking, ( mind you hes a hefty boy) they took both rather than leave her on her own, just as well as it transpired that she had some sort of problem , ( pus and nasty stuff in her breast area) which was duely drained and then they discovered she had a growth in that area, which unfortunately after removal has been discovered to be mallignant, so she will have a close eye kept on her,

now the good news, they both came `home` yesterday,( photos to follow) we havent seen either of them today, but hopefully we`ll find them tomorrow as he has to have drops given each day,

Just as well they were taken together as I know Swans don't like to be parted, hopefully now both in good health.

Hope they do well, Sue. No mean feat, taking on swans.

They are beautiful, I really hope they do well.  Bless your heart for taking care of them - you are an amazing person, not many would take on swans.  I know what our Chinese Geese are like...a challenge indeed.
