Ugly ducklings - far from it.

These cygnets were born last thursday & these were taken at 2 days old.
Originally there were 8, but the crows have killed 2 so far - I hope the rest stay safe, they really are adorable little bundles of fluff at the moment.

Yes they are, very adorable..... damn crows.

Nice set. 1st and 3rd are the cutest.

Thanks Crimzon - since they're only about a 5 minute walk away from my house, I'm hoping to get some regular updates with these - would be nice to keep a "log" of them growing up.

Ohhh! I hope the crows leave them alone! They are SO adorable. I'm looking forward to watching them grow up, so keep posting!

What cuties, not much else can hold a candle to these guys in the cute department. Hopefully these will make it and the crows will leave them alone. Great shots

cutie pies for sure

cute series

Many thanks for all the nice comments - I'll try and get round there tomorrow afternoon to see how they've grown already, and hopefully all six are still doing well. (fingers crossed).

Cute shots of these little ones! I hope the crows leave the remaining ones alone. Looking forward to your updates.

Wow, #1 is spanking!

Absolutely adorable!

Oh! what a cute brood ~ hope the rest make it

Again, thanks for the nice replies.
An update then - These were taken this morning (miserable skies, so apologies for the quality), all 6 have now grown big enough in their first week to survive the crows, who will now leave them alone & go find some other small fry, so they should be safe.

Couple more

Nothing cuter than a wee one!
