Things look bleak: Dozen turtles parked outside the nesting mother swan
By:Erika
Date: 12 April 2014

I have been watching these swans for years
They nest in a river not far from my home
this year there are over a dozen turtles parked outside her nest
Are they stalking her to eat her eggs and/or babies?
