The first cygnets hatched at Abbotsbury on Saturday the 8th March. The pen laid 7 eggs in total and has been incubating the eggs for 5 weeks (35 days). As the pen only begins to incubate once her entire clutch has been laid, all 7cygnets will hatch within 24 hours of each other and this little lot are already beginning to take to the water.
First cygnets hatch at Abbotsbury Swannery!
