Feeding the marina swans, 11th December 2016 - actually, we gave them some old breakfast cereal, not bread. Several cobs (males) are displaying to each other and the pens (females) with half-raised wings, this is "busking" but the wing posture can be used to "wind-surf" as well. There are several established pairs, but also several non-breeding adults, juveniles and cygnets in the marina population. The boat visible is "Saltire" , she is an ex-lifeboat.

A couple of cygnets have just had a few pieces of crust.

Hand-feeding a pair of cygnets. The young gull behind was also hoping for a hand out, but wisely kept out of the way.
