It
has been a long time since I have visited the National Trust property of Mount
Stewart to take photographs, one because of Covid and the other because of my
torn ligament as well as being away most of the summer. So I took
my bird group last week but unfortunately it poured. Not a day to really get the best of this
beautiful place but we did see some Morrhen, these healthy family os Swans have
reared 6 beautiful cygnets. When they
saw us from the other side of the lake, they immediately made a beeline for us, or did they have a scheduled meeting witih the Mallards?
I am
linking to WILD BIRD WEDNESDAY.
With the rain pouring down on the ducks we thought the raindrops looked liked diamonds on their backs.
I hope you enjoyed this post today.
I appreciate your visit and comments.
Hooray for the successful parents.

Hello Margaret,
ReplyDeleteBeautiful series on the Swans, they are lovely. Take care, have a great day!
Great pictures! Wonder if they were expecting you to feed them? People must be doing that.
ReplyDeleteGreat pictures in spite of the rain.
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful to see the families growing.
ReplyDeleteThey are so cute! I guess they are used to people taking their picture :)
ReplyDeleteI do hope your injury heals perfectly so you can get out and about when time permits.
