Mother and babies!!

My dear Peter,

Another excellent picture of the swan family!

Maybe the mother feels a danger threatens and allows the babies climb on her back and shelter under her wings.
They have a difficult and risky first two weeks!

We know About 35% of young swans die within three months of hatching. It is sad but true!

Thank you for this wonderful sharing!

Love Füsun

I am so happy that you like the scene.
We know these swans from last year, so it is easy enough to take a walk down the river and find them..

Most of the little ones are still a bit timid and stay with mom;-)
