Flirting Cygnets

Maybe it was the warm sunshine or just the joy of life, but whatever - 2 cygnets were doing a bit of flirting today. Mirroring each others movements, and ritual head nodding, it was intriguing to watch. The injured cygnet walked at last yesterday, with a very severe limp but at least walking 3 weeks after the injury. This might have a bearing on whether the parents keep them until the spring, since they know the cygnet is not fit to leave yet.
