These are photographs of two of the cygnets that got out of the water beside us and started preening. I took these images at the National Trust Property of Mount Stewart recently.

They are almost grown now.
ReplyDeleteGrowing up for sure! Their feet appear to be a light grey-blue--- Very striking.
ReplyDeleteThe transformation of swans really is remarkable! Ours start grey, and go black.

Beautiful things - and they grow so fast.
ReplyDeleteGreat series on the Cygnets. They grow big quickly. Take care, enjoy your day! Have a great week ahead.
ReplyDeleteIt is interesting how the outer feathers are a dull color, but underneath they are pure white.
ReplyDeleteGood Day, Margaret!
ReplyDeleteWe have really enjoyed your recent posts and all the beauty you continue to share with us. The young swans are adorable!
All is well on this side of the planet, at least in our little corner of it!
Be well!
How close they came to you! The adult swans are often seen as mean, are the young ones friendlier?
