Natures spotlight on #Louis… Son of the infamous @HenrySwan13 and named after #LouisSuarez for his quality biting technique, he has returned with his mate and appears to have banished #Lady & her cygnets from the bay this last few days. #Grasmere #LakeDistrict @ThePhotoHour

Druid Bird Lore 16. Swan : represents the soul, and aids travels into The Otherworld. Swans are sacred to Bards, their skin and feathers were used to make the Tugen, the ceremonial Bardic Cloak #birds #swans #folklore #druids

I never saw Henry as a potential #Page3 bird myself, but at least it’s on page 3 of the #WestmorelandGazette and not @TheSun… Thank you @gazettenewsdesk. #Grasmere #LakeDistrict #Obituary @HenrySwan13 @TheGlitterPath1 @pollyrowena @ITVborder @BBCNWT

It is with great sadness that we announce the demise of @HenrySwan13. He has, after 37 years, forsaken his mortal wings and gone to serve the #FaeryQueen in the #Otherworld. Feared by most but loved by many, you will be missed Sir… #Grasmere #LakeDistrict @ThePhotoHour

One of the reasons I was late today – there was a traffic jam on the A591 coming into Kendal which turned out to be caused by this family…. Someone kindly held up the traffic to let them pass #trafficjam @Cumbriapolice @ITVborder @LDRwaves @BBCCumbria @BBC_Cumbria
Swan family holds up traffic on A591 coming into Kendal this morning.
