On my walk this morning, I stopped at Weston Turville Reservoir to see if I could see the swans. They were both missing the last two times I was there. I hoped that was because they were looking after some brand-new cygnets in the rushes at the very far end.
When I saw the two swans in the distance, I could not see anything else. But then I noticed there was something between them. And they were heading my way.
There were seven cygnets swimming between their two parents.
And lo and behold, they arrived at the bottom of the bank and came out of the water. It is a very safe place for them and an excellent view for people at the top of the bank.
They all stayed there for ages, cleaning and preening. I just wished I had my camera instead of the poor quality on my phone. But it certainly made my day.
