One of the cygnets, the male, has fledged and there are now two cygnets remaining on the river. They look as if they’re ready to spread their wings soon too.
Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday and a peaceful rest of the week,

Lavender has a lovely scent and it provides food for bees and other insects from Spring to late Summer. We leave the lavender stems after flowering so that Goldfinches can feed on the seed heads in Winter. It’s a delight to see these lovely birds in the garden at this time of year.

The cygnets on the river continue to grow and are five months old now. The parents have moulted and grown new feathers, looking in fine health too.
