Hello!

This week i thought I would do a slightly 'different' post, because the swans that live on our lake have finally hatched out their babies!

We thought that we would call this couple Doris and George after my Gran's sister and her husband.

We are not quite sure exactly when they hatched out, because they were nesting on an island and they normally keep them on the nest when they are very young, but we noticed them for the first time last Tuesday.

They are quite friendly but still protective over the cygnets. However the other day, they cygnets swam under a little bridge and they couldn't get back through, so we had to go and rescue them because Doris and George couldn't quite reach them, but now if they go there again, we made a little way for them to get back. I think they realized that we were helping them, so they shouldn't be too afraid of us now!

We often go and feed them bread which they enjoy. They are SO cute and fluffy now and they sometimes climb on their mum's back and ride around the lake if they get too tired before it's time to go back to their home on the island! Watch this space if you want to see more pictures of them as they grow up!

If you want to see a little clip of the swans and the cygnets eating some bread, head over to my YouTube Channel!!

I hope you enjoyed seeing our little cygnets, thanks for reading if you did!
