2014.05.14 - ** Derby Station to the confluence River Derwent and River Trent & a tale of missing cygnets
free range chickens |
Lock on Trent & Mersey Canal before it joins the confluence of the River Derwent & River Trent. On left (under footbridge) is sloping overflow |
apparently the replacement to 'Long Horse Bridge' |
River Trent ahead & to right - River Derwent joins from left - Trent & Mersey Canal is between them |
returning up the canal Swan & Cynets seen again |
cygnets above the canal overflow |
last two cygnets about to 'disappear' down overflow while mother swan watches unconcerned? Unfortunately no easy way across the canal to see whether they were safe |
