NEWBORN

Yes I know 2 blogs in one day,"is he feeling ok"I hear you say. Well this is breaking news, excuse the pun but Mrs swan directly opposite my mooring has one in the nest and as far as i can see perhaps 4 more to hatch.

This little one is less than 24 hrs old as mum was off the nest yesterday and all eggs were intact.
Now when the Ducklings appeared on other boaters blogs it was weeks before i spotted any ducklings so i am claiming the youngest Cygnets to be photographed by a blogger, unless anyone has any claims.

Seriously though it`s not a competition between us Bloggers as we are all fortunate to see close up mother nature at work.

    wow Les! How 'awwwww' is that?

    Great pics, and you are very lucky to be on the spot. Now, keep clear of the cob as he will be so very defensive now!

    Hi Les, well that's good news. I wonder how many they will raise to adulthood? There will soon be 3 osprey chicks at Loch Garten. Check out the RSPB site? It's raining here.......again........! the 'wet' is supposed to be over by now!
