We went out to Pleasant Roads pond and Kelp Point pond today to see if the Coscoroba Swans have got any young.

When I got to Pleasant Roads pond the pair of Coscoroba Swans were still on the pond but no sign of any young which was very disappointing as the last time I was there one bird was sitting on a nest on one of the Islands.

Continued onto Kelp Point pond where I could see lots of Coscoroba Swans from a distance, once we got to the side of the pond it was great to see that there were lots of adult birds that included 1 pair with 6 young and another pair with 5 young. This is only the 4^th & 5^th time that Coscoroba Swans have succesfully breed in the Falkland Islands.

7 adult birds including a pair with 6 young

A none breeding pair flying into Kelp Point pond

Breeding pair with 5 young.

We saw today a total of 13 adults (possible including last years 5 cygnets) and 11 cygnets.

I will add another entry later with all the other birds & mammals seen today.
