Hi there!
Thank You for your reply! I just knew that these two beautiful swans are something special! I'm not sure if they are the same gender or not! Most of the time they are both sharing the nest together,(I'm not sure if this is also unusual?) but there has been a few occasions when it has just been the white swan on the nest! so whether this points to the white being the female, I'm not sure? But I do believe that if they are indeed opposite genders, there could be a possibility that the eggs could be infertile? In the meantime I shall keep going to see them with my camera at the ready! I will also try to film them if possible! I will certainly keep you posted!
Kind regards,
Sally
