> Three Weeks Old & Sadly One Cygnet Is Missing ~

Sadly we found that one cygnet is missing.
The remaining two are growing & diving for their own food.
We don't know if the eels take them.

Awww well I hope the two remaining make it to adulthood!

[Kathy A]

Such a shame, fingers crossed for the other two

[Babs]

Aw how sad.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Aaw ! nature can be so cruel . I hope the other two will stay safe !

[Shutterbug]

They certainly are getting bigger. Sorry there are only 2 now.

[Diana]

I do hope the others survive, such a lovey shot of this family outing.

[Issi Bannerman]

Will the signets turn black and develop red beaks, I wonder? I guess so.

[Wylie]

that's the worst thing about new hatchings. Doing the daily count :(

@jamibann Yes it takes about 15 months or so to have black feathers. A link to last years cygnet at 12 months old. https://media.365project.org/1/8130816_gostwx0236_o.jpg
