Maintaining the nest for this pair of swans is an ongoing thing on the Dorset Stour. As the image shows, there are now at least two eggs to tend, which have been laid in the past few days. The nest mound is often re-used from year to year (as is this one). Although keeping a low profile so as not to unduly disturb the birds, I can photograph the progress of the eggs from a comfortable distance for the swans using a long telephoto lens, as the nest is built on an island in the river.
