Evening peeps. Going out on a limb here....

I've discovered a family of swans with cygnets and am going to be starting a blog which can be found here and will be adding a load of images and content over the next few days, and then adding more each time I go and visit them.

Hopefully they will get to know me as a friend and I will get to know the individual cygnets as they get older and their characters come out.

Please pass the word round!

Ta!

My thoughts...

1) Controlled highlights on a swan, well done
2) Green water makes a nice change, like an advert for Gordons

3) Cygnets... orange sauce perhaps?

nono They're Queenies. You can look but you can't touch!








Then again, something quite robust. Plum sauce, perhaps?

I think so. Shredded and rolled in pancakes. Nom.



I'll grab one next time I'm on the boat and give it a go; plenty of swans going spare up there!

Fezant,


Apart from our varying tastes.....


....I am vaguely interested in whether this is learnt or inherited behaviour (as yours are already at it), could you investigate:
