‘Cygnets leave their nest for the first time...’

The swan’s eggs - the “future promise“ that were being tended lovingly by their mother (see blip 8 April https://www.blipfoto.com/entry/2826894542936999373) - have just hatched! (See extra photo).

I arrived just as the young cygnets were heading down to take their first dip in the water, led by their proud parents!
