4 August was the day Mrs Newbie came back home to Hampstead. Her wound is still healing but is nicely scabbed over and her feathers are now starting to grow back, so she was given the All Clear from the wonderful veterinary staff at The Swan Sanctuary. Her partner Wallace has been the most perfect father over the past three weeks, so attentive, so caring, always making sure that everyone is accounted for and so yesterday, Mrs Newbie returned to all seven happy, healthy cygnets.
Yesterday the whole family happily explored their pond together. Thank you to the Rangers on Hampstead Heath who did a fabulous job of fencing off the area in the pond where the dog attack occurred, and have put a small fence boundary around the dog swim area. Huge thanks to the team at Swan Support for their phenomenal help in rescuing Mrs Newbie three weeks ago.
