Swan Update

[smallhobbit]

Just some more photos to show that in the three weeks from my last swan post, the cygnets have grown to me almost as big as their parents.  They are also, as can be seen from one of the photos, getting their adult feathers.

Oh, wow. What lovely colours. The grey of the birds and the water. Thank you for sharing.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you - I'm glad you like them. It was a fairly murky day, but the pictures came out okay.

Aww look at them! Theres so many!🥰

[smallhobbit]

Yes, seven cygnets. They've done very well to keep them all.

It must be nice to see the family "grow."

[smallhobbit]

Yes, it's been fun recording them over the weeks.

Your photos of the cygnets are beautiful! They certainly have grown almost as big as their parents. It's cool to see the contrast between the grey feathers and the white feathers.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you! I hadn't realised how white they were becoming under the grey - they keep their camouflage as long as possible I suspect.

That's just beautiful, it's lovely to see how the cygnets have grown. Gorgeous pictures.

[smallhobbit]

Thank you very much. I've really enjoyed recording their growth.

How lovely! There are swans on a lake near here but it's now too far for me to walk. There's a car park but then a long walk to where the swans are. So I shall just enjoy yours!

[smallhobbit]

Thank you! I'm glad you're able to enjoy our swans - it's been a good year for them.
