I have some very sad news. Our swan family disappeared Bank Holiday Weekend, then we heard some swans had been shot about 2 miles down the canal. I had a walk down there and was horrified to see 2 dead cygnets in the water, around same age as ours. I cried all the way home!!
I spoke to a lady who lived on a barge down there & she said the adults disappeared after the cygnets were found dead. She rang the RSPCA who refused to come out. I made several trips up & down & to no avail over the last week & then yesterday, I did my usual walk & there were Grumps and Gladys, sat on the towpath, as large as life , whew, what a relief.
These are the last photos I took
