Mute Swans

I understand that the Mute Swan is an introduced species and can be aggressive about evicting native species. Granting that, they are lovely to watch in flight. This pair was exercising their wings and encouraging their four fledglings to do the same.

At the edge

At the very edge of visibility, these two Mute swans paddled slowly, like figures in an indistinct dream, through the still morning.
