Cone-oodeling Swans

We thought the swans had set their nest on the roadside- hence the cone put there to protect them. There is a pile of twigs and half a swan's load of feathers underneath the swan sitting down. On our return from the chandlery (Oh how I wanted (neeeeeed) that shocking pink storm weather gear!!!) no swans to be seen and if it is a nest- it's pathetic.
love this!!! fav

This is such a great shot - and such a great story (and caption!) It's nice to think that the cone is enough to protect them and their nest.

They can be vicious. I wonder why there were so many feathers?

Although there are no swans in our neck of the woods, we do have ducks. Be that as it may, you might like this link https://abbotsbury-tourism.co.uk/summers-here-the-first-baby-swans-of-2017-hatched-at-abbotsbury-swannery/

When we were still living in the UK, we visited this Swannery and I'd rank it in my Top 10 Days Out in the UK. Go if you can.

@summerfield hmm not a street really, road into a marina. Thanks for looking and special suggestion
@wendyfrost no sign of eggs so perhaps they gave up
