Divorce on swan lake?

Bewick's swans form famously loyal partnerships

during their lifetimes and will mate for life where they
can. Divorce is exceptionally rare in this species. In
over 4,000 pairs studied at Slimbridge during 40 years
of study, only one pair have separated after being
together for some years.
However, two particular individuals this winter are
bucking the trend as we have watched a second
divorce unfold in front of our eyes! The individuals in
question are called Sarindi and Saruni. Sarindi (ringed
BBZ) flew into Slimbridge this autumn without mate of
two years Saruni (ringed 525). Sarindi was with a new
partner named Sarind and we could only assume that
something untoward had happened to Saruni. We
were therefore very surprised to see Saruni arrive
several weeks later with new mate Sarune!
After observing them for a while, we are confident that
both have formed new partnerships. Needless to say,
Saruni and Sarindi have not been seen associating
with each other this winter! Poor breeding success
could be a possible reason behind such a separation
although we will never know for sure!
