Feathered Friends
Spring is in the air. The swans are busy building their nest which usually takes 2-3 weeks.
Once all the eggs have been laid they will be incubated and hatched after approximately 6 weeks later. They can lay upto 10 eggs.
The moorhens are pairing up also. Approximately, 8 eggs are usually laid with incubation lasting about 3 weeks.
