Swan Cygnet

This is one of the Cygnets that the male Mute Swan was protecting, and he's no ugly duckling! He's stretching out one of his legs, which as you can see is grey instead of the adults colour of black. This Cygnet is huge and not far off being the same size as his or her parents, so they must be quite old. I had a great time watching them and they then swam off in a perfect line, behind the proud parents.
