Hi Danielle,
Votre visite est la bienvenue. Merci.
Je suis heureux que vous ayez trouvé cela intéressant.
Je n'avais jamais vu ça avant. Peut-être que pendant quelques jours seulement, alors ils peuvent nager seuls.
Meilleurs voeux, et gardez-vous en sécurité !!

My dear Peter,

Such an excellent image of the swan family!
Oh yes I remember the eight cygnets was sitting their nest last Friday!
Now they are swimming... They are learning!

You are right, there were very clearly eight last Friday, all sitting in their nest. Now they get a ride down the river!! They will grow up fast!

Hi Rosa ,
Your visit is much appreciated. Thank you!
Glad you like it.
I have never seen this before..They did spend some time in the water, but maybe they don't have enough strength in their legs yet to keep from drifting away with the current. I suppose a day or two will resolve that. Anyway, I posted another pic from the same day.
Best Wishes, and keep safe!!

Peter_Private_Box club has replied to Gudrun club
Hi Gudrun ,
Thank you very much!
I'm pleased that you have enjoyed it!
They all seemed to take turns.. At one point they were all in the water feeding on some plants..
I think it is because they are not strong enough to continually keep swimming against the flow of the river..
Best Wishes, a good weekend, and keep safe!!
