This is the Mute Swan that has hatched six cygnets in the quiet surroundings of the Lido swimming area closed by the lockdown. She got them out just before it reopened to members of the swimming club.

There are moments of fun even in the life of a moody swan.

But all the swans are beginning to moult their flight feathers, which makes them itchy and irritable. They splash and flap and rush around.

The Black Swan has completely lost its flight feathers already. The new ones will be pure white and the swan will be a full adult.

The swan nesting at the east end of the Lido had a moment of difficulty. Someone had given it a plastic tray of water to drink, and somehow two eggs had rolled into it.

The swan tipped up the tray and managed to get one out, but the other one stayed put.

When I came back later, the swan had succeeded in removing this and had pushed the tray away to a safe distance.

The Canada Geese brought their two goslings out from the Lido on to the open lake.

The six Egyptian goslings at the Dell restaurant rested in the shade of the hawthorn tree on the terrace.

There are seven new goslings on the Round Pond.

The Great Crested Grebe under the willow near the bridge rested comfortably on its nest, a sturdy construction because it was originally built by Coots.

The Coot nest under the balcony of the Dell restaurant, which was washed away a couple of days ago and was completely invisible yesterday, has been rebuilt overnight. There must have been quite a lot of the structure still in place below water level.

But it is nothing compared to the huge construction of the other pair of Coots, which stood up to the waves. There are now two chicks, and probably more are hatching.

There are now two Cormorants at the island, a sign that fish stocks are beginning to bounce back after the Cormorants almost destroyed them last autumn.

Here are a few short clips of the Young Long-Tailed Tits, now flying around but still being fed by their parents. I'm collecting as much footage as I can in the hope of making a longer video about these interesting birds' nesting and breeding cycle. This is the hardest stage to film as the birds dash around and disappear into the leaves.
