Chaperone safely returns cygnets to nest pond in Hampstead Heath

Hampstead Heath’s latest litter of swan cygnets were guided back to their nest pond with the help of a patient chaperone. Caroline Hauser, who has watched the swan pair she calls Molly and Augustus for the last five years, noticed they and their two-month-old cygnets were stuck between ponds, after leaving the previous spot where they nested. After two hours Caroline was able to successfully coax the swan family back to their nest, where the cygnets rested not long after.
