The week previously I took my bird class to Kiltonga
and saw Swans that were trying to get their 6 cygnets to move to a new
territory however last Monday I took them on a walk near Helen’s Tower where we
saw 2 Adult Mute Swans with their 2 cygnets who appeared to be older than last week’s
ones due to the amount of white on their plumage, however their parents were
still very content to have them around. Again this is part 1 of these posts and I will
show you part 2 tomorrow. Enjoy.
I am linking with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.
Many thanks for visiting and also your comments.
What a lovely family group. Thank you.

The patterns on the cygnets wings are so beautiful. I guess some parents tolerate their grown kids hanging around longer and others don't like it. Just like human parents!
