For a whole year I shared a riverbank with a male mute swan. Everyday on my walk we conversed without a word being said. Every day I hoped he found the partner he craved. This year he brought his new family to see me

Good Morning from the Kingdom of Kent

Having a chat with my male mute swan chum yesterday afternoon whilst his family waited . Being the Kingdom of Kent, two Spitfires interrupted us until food became the priority 🙂

No-one knows why, but some acorns are naturally shy ☺️

BERT ALERT!!. He flew in this morning, and as you can see is definitely moulting. He is nervous and finds it difficult to fly. So nervous in fact he didn’t eat any raisins. Every day he visits more and gets stronger ☺️🐦‍⬛

My neighbours think I’m mad. Witnessing me running beside the border wall shouting & waving at the abandoned orchard apple trees the other side every day. Two male sparrowhawks used the cover to prey on our garden birds . Our birds think I am a hero. The sparrowhawks have gone.

Whilst Bert is AWOL, a few examples of his behaviour . We had a spate of sparrowhawk attacks. Feeding fledglings was dangerous & I helped by putting food under bushes, knowing Bert was watching. Bert joined me one foot away knowing I would protect him
