Love Lessons.

The Cygnets are 5 months old tomorrow, still here and showing more white plumage every day.

Saw them having a short flight down the river today , winds very blustery and a bit too dodgy for any extended stuff around the town.

I am surprised they are still here, but the parents know best and obviously the time is not yet right, perhaps the weather is not settled enough or maybe one of the cygnets is not ready.

It is not unknown for cygnets to stay with the parents until the spring, but I haven't yet seen it on the Nairn, insufficient food supply I think.

Yesterday the parents were giving them some lessons in Love, with a very loving display of closeness and bonding. The cygnets gathered round cheeping and nodding their approval, just beautiful !
