From today's pictures it is easy to see where we get the expression "to feather one's nest". Mother swan has been plucking feathers from her breast to soften her lovely new and secure nest.
It has been a lovely warm and sunny Bank Holiday Monday and she has been on the nest for most of the day just standing occasionally to tend the nest. The wonderful news is that there are three eggs.
