And.. Sadly.. Now There Is Only One ~

Four weeks old & only one Cygnet remains.
A dull, dreary & windy morning.
I felt so sad...

[JackieR]

Oh no!! Careless parents?

[Bep]

I can imagine why you're feeling sad...

[Lou Ann]

Awww I’m so sorry.

[Beryl Lloyd]

Aaaw ! so sad ! -- I feel your sadness - Nature can be so cruel !

[Shutterbug]

So sorry. The parents are so protective. Nature can be brutal.

[Diana]

Heartbreaking for those poor parents, I suppose they go through it every year :-(

[Babs]

Oh no, hope this one survives.

[KoalaGardens🐨]

no wonder they lay so many eggs, it's not easy. hope this one makes it!

[Issi Bannerman]

Oh, no, such a shame. I hope that remaining one is careful out there!

[Kathy A]

This is so sad

[Denise Wood]

That's so sad :(

[Wylie]

Lets hope they can look after the last one. Foxes?

[Maggiemae]

There are so many predators about - all targeting the young ones! That's life but as you say, sad!

[Mave]

What a shame

@30pics4jackiesdiamond We do have large eels in the lake & "we" surmise they are to blame?? I was so sad as last year was the same ..only one of three cygnets survived.

[Valerie Chesney]

@pusspup Nothing like foxes around here & not even birds of prey.
.possibly eels in the lake.
