Eduardo's aerial photos show a pair of Black-necked swans with a cygnet. 

Eduardo, our reporter in the heights, tells us he saw another pair of swans in the Gull Pond. "In the photo taken with a mobile only the location is shown. With binoculars the sight is great, they look beautiful and they seem to be displaying. One of them stands and flaps in front of the other. The place is very quiet, nothing but water, trees and vegetation. It is drizzling but they are not worried"

"Here in a very similar place but with more vegetation there are two other swans. One of them is still on the nest. The other one moves around, sits and looks attentive." This is the pair we saw on Saturday.

No doubt it is nesting

After a long wait the black-necked swans did come back. Looking on to the Gull Pond Carlos Álvarez detected the swan and very shyly said "There is a black-necked Swan". It was very difficult to spot because of the dried and fallen cattail, so he used a Caracara as a reference. It was practically above them. It seems they are nesting. Though vegetation still stands the pond is full of water and there is a big water mirror at the back. An ideal place to raise the offspring.

Stayed a bit at the Coypu Pond

Adult swans often carry their chicks on theri back. Chicks get on borad by anchoring their head to the adult's body and use their legs to crawl up to a safe place
