In 2017 Mr. B and I traveled to England and while there we visited Wells Cathedral and The Bishops Palace. I was looking forward to seeing the amazing clock in the cathedral and the ringing swans in the garden at the palace. The swans have been trained since 1850 to ring a bell on the gatehouse when they want to be fed. Unfortunately for us the the couple who had been working there for the last 25 years had just returned to the United States so the swans were not ringing........
In 2018 the male swan died and the female left with her cygnets so that left the pond empty. But not for long as the trust received two breeding swans from a rescue in 2019 and they are ringing again!
You can now view Grace & Gabriel on their "swan-cam"
