Happy Family

Across the road from our daughter's old flat is a pond. In that pond two swans built a nest. In that nest were eggs - then, all of a sudden, there were no eggs! However, on the day Fiona moved out, there were four new eggs. Now there are three beautiful fluffy cygnets but one egg still on the nest. Will it hatch or not? We will go back in a few days to see what happened. However, Mum was today showing her brood around their pond and warning off some cheeky coots and nine inquisitive ducklings. Dad, however, was up at the fence keeping a wary eye on these pesky blippers and their wee spaniel. That spaniel took one lo0k at Daddy swan and decided that discretion is the better part of valour!
