 Had bred for several years, but then was absent apart from occasional winter visits.  A young pair was seen regularly in 2008 and a pair was seen mating early in 2009.  It is not clear if this was the 2008 pair or the nearby Abbey Wood pair, who were here frequently with their young from 2008 in that winter.  In 2011, the Abbey Wood pair nested and raised 2 cygnets.

Where to see:


A visit to the lake will find Mute Swans if they're around.
