Daily Nature Log: 07 May 2026
The Narrative
A coastal trek transitioned from the bustling activity of a nature reserve—where the birds were heard but rarely seen—to the open expanse of the seashore. The local canine population was out in full force, from Yorkies to chocolate-coloured spaniels. The highlight, however, was the final circuit of the lake; a serene display of azure reflections and the quiet dignity of a cob swan. The next generation is clearly on its way, with goslings already exploring and the pen swan diligently guarding her nest.
