"Just like the real thing but worse"

" The editorial team in Oulton Broad (posh way of pronouncing Lowestoft) would like to thank the ever vigilant Tony Lavage based in rural Royston for sending in this truly 'Trubblin' image of vulnerable young persons admiring the plumage portrayed in swan based graffiti.  One of the older members of  the editorial team drew attention to the similarities between this contemporary photo and a 'sixties' Album cover." 

Back in the day, the Swan probably got censored by the Lord Chamberlain!

Invisibility

 Many thanks to NP of Westcliff on Sea for bringing this potential disaster to the attention of the editorial team. With the new freedoms afforded by a post Brexit Britain, all sorts of shit is being discharged into our 'Majesty's '  inland waterways'. What if overnight swans became invisible? It is difficult enough to see the buggers coming now, they certainly don't require chemical enhancement to gain the upper-hand.

Snowdon Swans

Many thanks to JP of Kessingland for sending the editorial team this 'troubling' image of swans discovered in Snowdonia specifically bred to be with and influence young minds. Is the world ready for swans that can operate at altitude? Even more worrying, are they evolving?  Traditionally aren't the young ones usually grey?
