The Young Ones!!

I took the dogs down to Strichen Lake for a walk and after I put them back in the car, I saw this bunch.
I gather they hatched last week and there are eight of them. There is some concern that an otter has been seen in the area.
Last year, all the cygnets "disappeared!"
Lets hope these ones survive.
Last night's buffet thing was a great success as it was fully booked.
Confession time.
I've always rather liked the title here.
How uncool is that?
I couldn't decide between this one and the one I've put in the extra photos
