Mute Swan
We have a mating pair of mute swans at the fishery.
Facts
Mute swans are usually strongly territorial with just a single pair on smaller lakes, lochs or ponds. Mute swans build there nest (large mounds) out of waterside vegetation in shallow water on a islands in the middle or at the edge of a lake. They often reuse the same nest each year, rebuilding or restoring as required. Both the Male and female swans share the responsibility for the nest, and once the cygnets are fledged it is common to see whole families looking for food. Mute swans feed on a wide range of vegetation, both by grazing on land and feeding on submerged aquatic plants which they can reach with their long necks. This food includes pondweed, stonewort and wigeon grass and agricultural crop plants like wheat, but we also put bird food down for them as well. The busking is a threat display it is a pose with neck curved back and wings half raised and Both feet are paddled in unison during this display which results in a more jerking movement. The cygnets leave when they are around about 6 months old when they are old enough to look after themselves the parents chase them away, the parents the can be quite aggressive. They would normally join the first flock of swans they encounter where they usually stay until they mature when about 4 years old.
Picture was taken in late 2014, the parents chased these cygnets away in january 2015.

Osprey
There is a pair of ospreys nesting near the fishery.
Facts
The osprey is the second most widely distributed raptor species on Earth. Fish make up 99% of the osprey's diet. Their prey is first sighted when the osprey is about 10–40 m above the water, after which the it hovers momentarily then it plunges feet first into the water. They typically takes fish weighing up to 4.4lb and they can feed on our rainbow, blue and our brown trout. Ospreys have vision that is well adapted to detecting underwater objects from the air. The osprey is well adapted to catching fish, with reversible outer toes, sharp spiculeson the underside of the toes, closable nostrils to keep out water during dives, and backwards-facing scales on the talons which act as barbs to help hold its catch. Occasionally, they may also prey on rodents, rabbits, hares, amphibians, other birds and small reptiles.
