After much confusion and studying the cygnets behaviour, we think dad has run off with yet another and abandoned mum (he did the same last year). Now he is bullying mum who has chosen to stay with the cygnets. The cygnets are definitely not mute and grunt, whistle and chirp all of the time. I notice that they are particularly pleased with me when I head off boy and his new woman in my kyack as they will follow behind me whistling and head bobbing. All have started their flight training which is an amazing sight. I feel truly blessed and privileged and thought you might like to see their latest pose.
