Photo 1: Jill the mute swan glides along the reed bed, neck stretched low over the water, eyes narrowed. She has a look. The nest is fine. But it could be better.
Photo 2: Decision made. Head goes straight under. No hesitation. If it’s wet, tangled, and smells of pond, it’s exactly what she’s looking for.
Photo 3: She resurfaces gripping a dripping clump of aquatic weeds, reed roots, and assorted pond debris. Glamorous work. Someone has to do it.
Photo 4: Neck raised in a satisfied curve, she looks as if she smiling to herself. Jack is somewhere standing guard and looking important. Jill is actually building the whole thing.
