Update from Councillor Pattie Hill.

 Mummy Swan is back! Her foot is much better so please don’t let anglers make any more mistakes please…
++++++   Some of you may be aware that the mother swan injured her leg recently, after becoming entangled with a fishing line. Sadly her leg became infected, so she has been taken by the Swan rescue to recover. We have been informed that she is recovering well, and the rescue will be trialling her back with her family soon.  Of the six cygnets born in May, sadly only five have so far  survived.   +++++++

Great news from Brockhill Park and Wetlands, please help to look after our cygnets and keep them safe. Our local councillor Pattie Hill and her team of volunteers has once again initiated ‘Cygnet Watch’ please let her know if you have any concerns for their welfare at any point.
Could we also please remind anyone walking their dog in the area close to the swans,  to keep it under control or on a lead, as naturally the swans are very protective of their young and can be aggressive. We hope that all six cygnets will survive, as did last year’s seven!
