A swan in Henley on Thames has decided to make a nest right in a rather busy and inconvenient place so someone had cordoned it off. It didn't seem to mind people walking by.

Actually the Henley Regatta is July 1-5th this year. They where already building the tents on the other side of the water. I hope the nest survives the crowds if it hasn't hatched yet.

I´m sure it will be well protected, by royal decree, perhaps even by Harry himself!

Nice shot, think they're Whooper Swans.

If your correct, and I´m sure you are, rather poetic that salt water, ie seawater killed them off, which is where the cuttlefish live!

I installed a cctv camera behind my bird house, most birds are spooked by it at the moment I might have to change the camera to a bullet type, anyhow the squirrel is undeterred.

Looks like the cat is about to fall asleep on the job to me!

Hate moles though. Every dead one makes the world a better place.
