The swans have cygnets this year. They've never yet managed to raise a family to adulthood and one baby has already been lost this year. Hopefully the remaining two will survive.

The little ones look well guarded. I hope they make it!
This is a beautiful family portrait. We've been following the pair of swans that nest at the end of our local pond. It's a dense place, well protected. We're only able to get anywhere near them by taking our kayaks out on the pond. I'm always impressed with how the parents keep the cygnets between them at all times. Ours had four; last count there were three. I suspect Moby Turtle--the HUGE snapper that also resided at that end of the pond--may have made a meal of one of them.
no cygnets around here this year and it makes me sad ofcourse. However , in Stockholm there are usually several cygnets surviving through wintertime. I think this is a great family portrait

Hard to tell if Mum is scolding the kids or berating Dad, experience tells me ......

Such cute little babies! I hope they make it.
That is very sad, perhaps this time they'll get it right.
Lovely scene! I think they look very protective so hopefully those babies survive!
This is so pretty and romantic...I hope the little ones make it to adulthood...mom and dad looks very attentive!
The swan family makes a peaceful image.

The parents do look protective. Hopefully all will be good in the swan world.
