Lovely, thank you again Xavier. The same age as the five Cygnets I am watching. Our pen looks at one of her (not so) little cobs in amazement. What? I made that 3 months ago and he's bigger than me!!! Amazing.
Pete isn’t on Royals lake, Pete mate however is on Seth territory. Seth isn’t back, assume he’s molting somewhere else. I haven’t seen Joe & Jayne but reckon they’re somewhere on their territory hidden in the vegetation.
Has Miles started his molt yet? Also king Swan has pulled all his feathers out and started his molt. The 8 juveniles are happy to feed out of my hand now, which is nice to do.
Miles is in the process of molting, he hasn’t dropped his wing feathers yet but he is plucking a lot of down feathers from his underside. That’s so good that the juveniles get very comfortable feeding from you.
