Getting some inside information

"Where are all the pike then Arnie?"

 

 

 

Arnie (the swan) lost his mate last summer. She wandered up on to the railway line to try and get one of her cygnets to come back...............she got hit............

 

Foxes got the remaining cygnets, so Arnie is on his own. He was "making up" to another lady swan a week or so ago, so maybe...just maybe.....

 

Den (he doesn't know where the pike are, either )

A sad tale and a great photo. Arnie (the swan) looks a handsome devil though so I doubt he'll be shopping in the 'meal for one' freezers for very long.

The sad reality, Rusty, is that swans often pine for their mates, and eventually die. Mind you, this one looks like it has taken a shine to Den!

Peter,

 

Maybe Arnie is that weekly-mag journalist you're longing for, working undercover?

I didn't know that, well I hope that Arnie finds another mate.......and I desperately hope that he decides against the camo jacket.

Swans normally only have one mate, and its for life. Some years ago a local swan lost his mate, he spent his summer pecking at a highly polished black boat in which he could see his reflection. It was pitiful to watch. But Den is a kindly soul, Arnie could do worse!

Did you ever think that maybe men are descended from apes and women from swans?

Yup.....and they don't seem to have evolved much either....!!!

 

Jan V, NurseJudy.....help!!!! I'm digging myself a huge hole here....

PS. Cracking pictures of Arnie. We have a lone female swan nearby who lost her mate recently due to thugs with no brain and an air rifle. It's a sad sight to see one of these beautiful creatures pining. Is it really true that they mate for life, or does she have some hope of finding another partner?

If women decended from a bird it was probably a Liar bird
