Cygnets at Weston Turville Resrvoir

 

It's not often that I can get a close up picture of the cygnets, but at the weekend they were touring the reservoir. The bright sunshine meant there were nice shadows on the water.


Two of them stayed at the far end, dipping their heads in the water.


Coming into the last week in January, and I could only see three cygnets along with their parents as the photo below. This has been the same on my last two visits. Should I be concerned?

The general view is that the parents chase off their brood before they mate again. That must be why today there is just one lonely cygnet left.

No sign of the last cygnet. Hope they are all OK. Maybe some more next year. These were the parents today.
