Swans on Hedgecourt lake- Report from Ken Harwood
The beautiful Hedgecourt Lake in Mill Lane is one of Felbridge's hidden treasures. The diversity of wild life that can be seen there never ceases to amaze the watchers. The lake is used by a myriad of birds as a staging post on their migratory journeys. One pair of swans has been the sole residents of the lake for at least 17 years. Over those years they have raised countless broods of young, and have spent their lives preparing their young for the time when they are literally kicked off the lake by the adults to make their own way in life. Following the untimely death of the female swan last year when she was callously run down by a car driver on the side of the lake, it was of concern as to what would happen this year with the old Cob. Because occupation of the lake is very much a territorial thing for the swans, it was feared that there would be ‘trouble at mill’ this year as other swans tried to take up ‘occupation rights’ on the lake. There was a lot of posturing early on with the old man chasing everything white off the lake. He seems to have resigned himself to the fact that his time at top swan is over. He can be seen swimming about in one of the lower lakes whilst up to ten young swans can be seen strutting their stuff on the lake itself. It will be interesting to see what happens this year as to whether one pair become the dominant team or the lake becomes a home for more than just one pair.
