Mother Swan with Cygnets

Mother Swan with Cygnets
I thought it was about time I posted a photo of something cute and fluffy. I think this probably qualifies.

Taken during a walk at Langstone Harbour, Hampshire, the day before yesterday. This swan was guiding a family of eight cygnets along the shore at low tide.

Another look at the cygnets in the PiP. Enjoy!

Didn't she do well...amazing!!! There is not going to be a shortage of swans this year is there! I love your main picture with the very proud mum, and the PiP is gorgeous, with blue water and the cutest ever cygnets enjoying life!

I hope you have a good Bank Holiday weekend Keith.

I thought you might like this one Rosa.............it's been a while since I've seen a swan with so many cygnets round here. I hope they all survive!

Have a good BH yourself......personally we're trying to avoid all the fuss!

Another excellent capture from you Keith. Lovely quality in both shots. Always good to see swans with their young, a bit like ducks too. Well done.

Best wishes. Herb

I was wondering the same Fred. Hopefully they'll all survive, but the odds are against that.

Zwei wunderschöne Aufnahmen, Keith! Die Wollknäuel sind einfach zu süß. Gut, dass du ein langes Tele dabei hattest, denn die Eltern können sehr aggressiv werden.
