Swan Update

Following the previous post about the disappearance of one of the adult swans on Kingsmere, we can now confirm that the adult male has been killed. We still do not know how this has happened but we have found a wing and some feathers in the woods some 300m from the pond.

Because of our concerns for their safety the four youngsters, and hopefully the adult female, are, with the assistance of London Wildcare and local Swan Rescue volunteers, now being moved to a colony at Kingston Lock. This is the time of year that the juvenile swans would be leaving their parents anyway but because of the terrain at the Queensmere it is almost impossible for them to fly out on their own.

Two of the juveniles have already been moved and the others will follow - just as soon as they can be caught.
