    Yes, it makes a pleasant change.

    That last one needed some coaxing 😊

    What a lovely little video. Those devoted parents could teach a few humans about caring for youngsters.

    I will never forget the lovely swans that lived at Trevarno Gardens, near Helston. They were white with black necks truly lovely, although you didn’t get too close. Such a shame this wonderful garden closed, we visited it every year for around ten years. Very beautiful. Stock picture below, but somewhere I have a few I took, another device probably....

    There's very sad news about the swans and cygnets, avian flu has struck them down. I think one word of advice is, if you see sick birds avoid handling them at the moment. frown  (A big effort is going on to contain the outbreak.)
