Cherwell: Bygnet!

Much bigger in large!

Eee, I found the cygnets this afternoon; I haven't seen them for more than three weeks (since here), and they're now MUCH bigger. Still supercute.

I also went over to Christ Church Meadows in the morning, and found an unfamiliar juvenile swan there: it was friendly (/not aloof), so I ended up taking lots of photos. I've put up one as an extra, and I'll upload the others to Flickr later (uploading isn't working right now) and post links.

Christ Church Meadow shots are right from here.
