Having reported the siting of the first Signets I have spotted in Cardiff yesterday at Cardiff Bay, the countdown is now on to see how successful our swans are this year.
Once the eggs are laid, incubation for a swan is round about 36 days .... for many of the nests I have been observing the eggs should hatch in the next week or so! Stay Tuned!
Swans like most birds show much patience, sitting on their eggs and turning the eggs at regular intervals .... soon the waiting will be over.
Of all the wetland birds the swan seems to be one of the last to hatch their eggs. My first inspirations lie with painting and capturing swans with their signets so despite all the other birds my first love is with the swan and I look forward with excitment to see how many of the various eggs that birds have been incubating over the last month or so will hatch.
