The signets born near Glaxo's in Ware are now 9 weeks old & starting to change from grey to white.
Today they were on the River Lea between Hertford & Ware, near to where the New River to London to starts.
After many years at this location, Grupo Bienestar is out and the place is for lease.

Some new arrivals on the river. Here's a signet who prefers the sanctuary of its mum's wings. And who wouldn't?
Finally I get to see and photograph a signet! In real life! The funny thing is, to me at least, is that I roam around parks and lakes in New Jersey looking for wildlife. And I have to go to New York City to find these. Went to Coney Island and this family of swans was swimming around in the stream behind the parking lot. They were obviously fed by someone as evidenced by the bag of bread hanging on the fence and the size of the male. He was HUGE. Borderline obese. Biggest freaking swan I've ever seen. He was greedy too, he was hogging all the bread and even hissing at the babies if they tried to get some.

John Keats - Ode on a Grecian Urn:
Fair youth, beneath the trees, thou canst not leave
Thy song, nor ever can those trees be bare;
Bold Lover, never, never canst thou kiss,
Though winning near the goal yet, do not grieve;
She cannot fade, though thou hast not thy bliss,
For ever wilt thou love, and she be fair!

She had nine then one died. A couple of weeks later there were only six. Now there are five but they are quite big so with a bit of luck these will survive.
