Adult Fem In Current Molting Feathers , Takes around six weeks to molt  and then another six to re grow. A Dragonfly Perching on the reeds, waiting for the females to fly over head. One of the hides at Neumanns Flash.   Heatwave made the water low , so the swans came in close last visit and there was over 44 in and then last week only 22 so it shows the molting  season is nearly done. as Mute swans are on the Move!   Signs of Autumn showing too with all the leaves starting to go red  and yellow and Brown.  QUACK!
