Best Time For Photos

With the cygnets newly hatched and often on Penny's back, now is the time to get some good photos of the swans. 

The light conditions are also better and the cygnets will only be allowed to hitch a ride for about another week, before Penny stops doing it.

 Four of last years brood returned to the river, only to be chased immediately by Popeye who was sitting atop the nest.

A mother duck took advantage of the vacant nest today and briefly took over the prime location.  

The two ducklings I hatched the other day are enjoying their thrice daily trips to the wash hand basin too !
