I know I won\u2019t be the only one who will miss them but their time as the King and Queen of Widewater had come to an end and this is just Nature\u2019s way for an older pair of Swans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For several weeks now, they have been under much stress as the younger pair have dominated the territory and they haven\u2019t been able to go on the water. They took refuge in Mo <a><\/a>Wilson\u2019s garden who kindly looked after them and with daily feeding from Danny Howard and myself, we managed to keep them safe until a place was found for them to go to. Thank you all, for caring for them. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" alt=\"\u2764\ufe0f\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/tf3\/1.5\/16\/2764.png\"><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lake was found by the wonderful Billy Elliot of Wadars and Billy relocated them there today. Thank you Billy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I went with him to see them settle in and it was a joy to watch them back on the water, exploring their new surroundings, washing and preening. We are so grateful to the kind lady who has offered them this idyllic home and who will now look after them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I\u2019m sure they will be very happy there. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/tf3\/1.5\/16\/2764.png\" alt=\"\u2764\ufe0f\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t5b\/1.5\/16\/1f9a2.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udda2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/t5b\/1.5\/16\/1f9a2.png\" alt=\"\ud83e\udda2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/tc4\/1.5\/16\/1f333.png\" alt=\"\ud83c\udf33\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" height=\"16\" width=\"16\" src=\"https:\/\/static.xx.fbcdn.net\/images\/emoji.php\/v9\/tf3\/1.5\/16\/2764.png\" alt=\"\u2764\ufe0f\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Written by Jo Procter.
