In Response To: Bad location for cygnets to grow up (Ian Morse)

Boyo and Girlie are a pair of swans we have looked after for five years. We build their nest feed then daily and have only reared one cygnet Bibie in all that time.

It is a very bad area they have chosen it is a puplic place. we have put fencing up to protect the from dogs and HUMANS. It also poluted sea water and the slipway is gothe have such along way yo walk to water in low tides, governed by the tides. So when the eggs hatch it such along way for the new cygnets to walk . All seven died within five days last year. We have girlie on eight eggs this year, they are due to hatch 10th MAY . Can you sugest anything.
