Easter Eggs

Eggs are a sign of new life and joy. Swans, ducks and all wetland birds are busily building their nests and preparing to lay their eggs. Swans nest in the reeds around lakes, ponds and rivers. As their eggs are large, the incubation period is between 35 and 39 days. Incubation begins when all the eggs are laid. They can lay between 5 and12 eggs. Ducks and smaller wetland birds incubate between 14 and 20 days.
