2nd July 2021 - Not far from my house is Straiton Nature Reserve and Pond. We grew up knowing it as Lang Loan Pond or Dirty Dicks Pond.
There is an annual pair of breeding Swans. At first there were eight small cygnets at end of May. By 17th June there were seven. on 2nd July there are now only five. They are growing quickly . I also photographed the ducks on the pond.
