The Mute Swan pair which had been prospecting on the river behind the house have started to construct a nest. The site is a small islet which will almost certainly be flooded if the water level rises. The site is also very vulnerable to human disturbance (I wish they had chosen the far bank which might have given them a better chance).

"The grand show is eternal. It is always sunrise somewhere; the dew is never dried all at once; a shower is forever falling; vapor is ever rising. Eternal sunrise, eternal dawn and gloaming, on sea and continents and islands, each in its turn, as the round earth rolls".
