Swan family

J’s sister C came up today to see her - a bit of an exercise as it’s a 180 mile return journey, well beyond the range of her electric car, so charging en route has to be planned in. J really enjoyed seeing her.

I left them to chat for an hour and walked down the nearby Sankey Canal. A swan family were on the look out for food from passers by. The two adults were accompanied by six large youngsters, near adult size but with that “ dirty look” maturing cygnets have. Good to see such a good survival rate.
