Solar Pen

This week has seen a few nice sunny days and the ability to take a few decent photo's. The Swan cygnets are just about ready for short flying lessons, perhaps in the river when the wind conditions are right. Their flight feathers are almost complete and just have to harden off a little.

I am still anxious to see if the pen has any missing flight feathers, since she is the one who initially teaches the cygnets to fly. Meanwhile, they like the rest of us are just enjoying what little sunny days we get and are soaking up the rays. The webbed feet are used like solar panels and take in the heat from an Autumn Sun.
