The first cygnets of the year have hatched at a famous swannery during the King's Coronation on May 8, 2023 – ushering in the start of summer. According to an ancient proverb, the spectacle of the first baby swan at historic Abbotsbury Swannery in Dorset marks the first day of British summertime. The first of more than 100 nests has now started hatching a few days ahead of schedule. They will soon be joined by hundreds of cygnets that are due to arrive by the end of the month.
