Swans find Water

Well my daughter Katie and I were cycling around Chasewater the other day and watched some swans with their signets walking along Chasewater seeking water to swim in. 

The little family then went under the metal bridge and into Norton pool looking pretty pleased with themselves. 

Nice to get our feet wet :)

 

But honestly, many of us are wondering, how much longer will it be before work is started on the Chasewater Dam and water returns to Chasewater when will they put the plug back in???
