| Re: Cygnets multiplied overnight by 2 O_o
Hello Amoeba, I don`t know if swans adopt other cygnets, but mallards and other ducks do. I have often seen a pair of mallards with a flotilla of ducklings of different sizes that would far out number a normal clutch.
The Lesser Black-backed will often nest inland (on moors and on islands in lakes) do you have anything like that within flying distance...Bob
