Swans on the Pond


These chirpy chaps hatched yesterday and were out on the pond today.  A brood of eight. Well done mum.

  1. I do love to see the swans on the canals and rivers...such a majestic bird that really deserves your respect...and often your distance when their cygnets have just hatched out.

  2. There are some fearsome ones on the canal towpath.

  3. I wonder why cygnets were ever dubbed ugly ducklings. They're lovely.

    1. They do become quite gawky adolescents - on their way to pristine adulthood. But yes the cygnets are a fluffy delight.
