Female gives birth to nine!

Still a bit frustrated about the other lung needing treatment but hey ho it is what it is. We need to be around a railway station for a post op clinic appointment June 1st. plus we have something  being delivered so not in a great hurry. Running low on water we made a trip in the sunshine to Cosgrove and returned to Stanton where we have another 7 days left of our 14 day mooring right. Having contacted CRT and been told they would overlook us being in one area we could just not bother about moving on time but that is NOT our style.
Future plans are to head for Warwick and Birmingham and hopefully get the train back for the lung RFA when they give me a date which will probably get canceled and rescheduled.
Good thing is I feel great.

Bet it won`t be long before the line is forgotten as they wander off investigating.

Two more chicks were hiding in the reeds.

Not a very nice sight. The plastic ring might make feeding difficult and flying might be hard as they tend to stretch their necks out straight in flight. We left two 18/20 year olds trying to find someone with a net or they would phone the RSPCA.

Cosgrove Aquaduct towpath side

and just the edge of the iron trough the other so don`t fall off this side.

or you will end up in the River Great Ouse.

Nice way to travel on a sunny day. The swan was not amused and took flight through the bridge hole.
