Smiling Swan ...

“Hope
Smiles from the threshold of the year to come,
Whispering 'it will be happier'...”
Alfred Tennyson

Beautiful day - sun shining and cold, sharp air. Visited BPC2 and met the swans. 4 teenage swans still present and I get the feeling they won't be leaving home. Brief chat with the Swan family and the goose and several (many) photos taken. Blip of Mrs Swan AKA Hope. Then visited Big Pond Community 3 at the foot of Arthur's Seat. I thought I recognised one of the teenage swans from BPC1 but I couldn't see the leg tag so couldn't confirm. There were about 25 swans there and 4 teenage swans. Happiness.
