I have seen the other family of swans however that are hanging around in the top pond beside the spit, they're so cute!
But back to the best beside the Cliftonville Road entrance. I know that there were four eggs in the nest originally, but in the end fishermen tell me only one survived.
This is the same batch of eggs which were tampered with earlier in the year and quite clearly this must have had an effect.
Both humans and mother nature haven't been kind to this beleaguered swan. Fingers crossed next time round she'll build a nest and incubate her eggs far from the madding crowd.
