Description
A heart-warming true story, Swan Life reveals the trials and tribulations of a pair of mute swans as they raise a family on the River Stour in Dorset. The author's unique insight into the lives of these birds offers a rare glimpse into their struggles and relationships.
Through the author's observations, the extraordinary care given to the young and the close bond between the adults are revealed. The story also explores the tension with a rival swan and a poignant moment when a female bird buries one of her dead cygnets. This is a story of a parent's love, devotion, and sacrifice, offering a new perspective on the often-graceful but tumultuous life of a swan.
