River Nene at Kislingbury

The pile of what looks like sticks,near the middle of the shot,is the remains of a swan's nest.Unfortunately it had been washed away twice by the rising water of the river,due to all the rain we've had,and the swan's eggs were washed away,too.

That's sad... ; do you think the swans are going to build another nest somewhere?

[Rosie White-Hlouveraki]

How sad! The downside of Mother Nature.

[Judith Johnson]

Oh the cruelties of nature.

[CHARLES MALLIA]

[Sheri]

What a beautiful scene!

[Cathy]

The rainy season has certainly taken its toll on the swans. But all that rain makes it green and lush!

[❀ Lynn]

Lovely scene. Too bad about the swans.

[Jane Pittenger]

Heart breaking

[Julian]

[Ann Stenson]

Beautiful scene Carol.....But so sad about the swans nest & eggs! : /

[Jennifer Ruge]

Pretty! It looks so green. . .it must be from all the rain! =)

[Dixie Goode]

Beautiful cruel world but still so worth living in

[bruni]

That is really too sad..oh well that's life...the picture is very beautiful though with the river flowing through it.

[Alison Hewitt Bailey]

Life does those things, unfortunately. :-(
Pretty, fresh greens - all that water has done *some* good!

[LeenaH]

Tell to the swans that they have to nest in Finland next summer, no floods here.
Rains and greenness belong together, we know it also.
Sunny Thursday to you.

[Yvonne]

Oh, that is so sad about the swans ; (

[Ruth Moucharafieh]

Doesnt sound like a good year for swans round your area! :-( but that is a picturesque bit of the river

[Paula]

So sad!

[Darlene]

Very sad but the way nature is and we have to accept these things. A beautiful photo, Carol.

[Margaret Tryon]

Too bad. Nature can be very harsh.

[Shirley Chetwynd]

I hope they hadn't laid any eggs when it was washed away.

So sad about the swans' nests washing away. Pretty scene though with all the lush greenery through the trickle of water.
