Hi there,

these are the first black swan cygnets for the season. It's great to see because last year for the first time in 37years they did not breed.

Comments welcome as always

Regards Darren

Nice series Darren - nice commentary too. The light is a bit harsh and I noticed that you had a relatively slow shutter speed.

Thanks all, I believe the reason they did not breed last year I think the water level was going down, all other years it goes up this time of year.
