Swans at Mistley.....Mistley is a small village on the river Stour, near to where I live, the Swans have always been there and manged to survive. In the past few years a local 'swan lover' comes to feed the Swans each day....so now the population of Swans has increased so much that they have become a nuisance. The greensward on the river bank is covered in Swan poo, there are feathers EVERYWHERE and the Swans now have no fear of people or cars and sit in the road blocking traffic. When it rains and the road floods (presumably the drain is blocked with feathers) they swim in the road. I love birds, I love all wildlife (except snails & slugs) but this is unfair to the Swans who now expect food every day. This is the end of my first rant on this blog.....I feel so much better now!
