    Default Mute Swan - adult & juveniles

    When I got to this spot by the canal I was a little worried to see just 6 juveniles with the mum when there should be 11 ( I knew it was the same grouping as I could see her leg ring). Then it dawned on me that they could be with Dad a little further down the canal. This spot is weird as the river briefly leaves the canal, so it's effectively an island with the canal one side and the river the other. The Dad was on the river side with the other youngsters. Phew!
