We had absolutely ferocious torrential flash floods yesterday, which caused no damage other than to the swan nest on the island in the middle of our small lake, when the water levels rose dramatically in the space of a very few hours.
The nest was flooded, and I was so sad to see a solitary swan egg bobbing up and down on the water this morning as I walked the children to school................
I hope the other eggs did not meet a similar fate, but there was no sign of the swans near their nest area :-(

That is sad...such beautiful creatures!
Oh, that is sad.
Stay safe, dear Elizabeth.
Elizabeth,
I am glad to hear that you and your family are safe. There has been an unusual amount of rain here in the Indianapolis, Indiana area as well as in the New England region of the US. It would be nice of some of your rains would move over to East Anglia where the water shortages are starting to occur. Hopefully, the swans will return. They are certainly beautiful creatures.
