Hello Hello to all Hivians and indeed anyone reading this.
Today I shall be telling you a wee story about two wee cygnets or baby swans...
Before we proceed I hasten to add that no cygnets were harmed in the production of this post!
The pictures in this post were all taken on Saturday June 21st 2025. Some of these pictures were used to make the lead image for this post on Canva by the author.
I wanted to make a quick detour to our local park on the way to a supermarket that Mrs T wanted to visit.
It was my trade off, so of course I took some duck and swan pellet food with me.
Ducks no swans....
I was mobbed by the mallards and they were fluffing starving. Normally they will just eat from the water, but some of them were straight out of the water wanting fed at my feet.

You can see the swans finally made their way over from the other side of the pond.
Peter the cousin of Dafty the Pomeranian duck was keeping his eye on them, you can see them down in the bottom right corner.

... Free food ... roll up ... free food
One head two bodies!
This year there have been four cygnets that have made it to this size.
I don't know how many there were originally but am still happy to see 4.
These 2 were at mum and dad's side.
I am sure Mum does this, am I doing it right?
They have still got their chick fluffy feathers are darn cute, but they are growing fast!
Is this real, or a photo glitch?
I have looked at this photo for fluffing ages.
All the pics are by me and apart from the odd rotation of a picture there is no real editing or photoshopping done by me...
Where is his bill?
Wee one on a mission....
Found it!
They are young so are still exploring how to get food and things...
I have got my weeds it's your turn!

This post though, is an entry for this week's Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 224 hosted by the wonderful @nelinoeva in the fantastic Feathered Friends community on Hive.
And I shall pick this one for the entry
Parent and Child
That was a tricky choice to make. There were others I could have chosen.
But I like this one with the adult swan keeping an eye on the other cygnet and perhaps me too!
The little has some weeds in his mouth and paddling away all happy.
What do you think? Was that your favourite?
Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
