While working on the pier, Rob Adamson saw the swans on a regular basis.
These birds’ eggs were often submerged in floodwaters, and thus the man knows directly how tough it is for them to hatch.
When the swan chicks were hatched, they were prey for foxes and other predators.
Once again, Rob came up with a brilliant plan to save the birds from the encroaching waters of the Great Ouse.
Nature can’t be tampered with, yet water levels have increased to the point that birds are in danger of drowning.
« Knowing this, I couldn’t sleep at night. I realized that if I didn’t help them now, I’d regret it later « In the words of Rob Adamson.
The man stayed up all night making a nest for the swans, which he then threw into the water with an anchor the following morning.
His mother swan and her nine eggs would be moved to a different site in the future, according to him.
Swans often react aggressively to those who go too close to them. Rob was able to soothe the bird, and it seemed to be aware of what was going on.
