Now
this is going to be a 3 part series with a story running through all the 3
parts. The 2nd part will be Wednesday and the final post will be
Saturday. These cygnets were born the day I was at Mount Stewart when BBC 1 were
filming for a live programme in which I was one of a Rent – a – Crowd in
the background of the Formal Garden at the National Trust Property of Mount
Stewart. (Link at the end of this post).
Our
story starts when both parents had decided to take all 7 of their new
family for a swim. You can see them
(just) leaving the nest and Dad leads the way with Mum's encouragement.
Dad
waiting for all of them to swim through the reeds.
Now
Mum appears.
“
OK, 2 through“ says Dad. “ Only 5 more
to come”.
“Come
on little one, you are the last one” he says.
”OK,
Mum, All present and correct so off you all go, I will bring up the rear” he
says.
Off
they go so do not forget to look in on Wednesday and Saturday for the
continuation of the story and images.
I
am linking with WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.
