Mute Swans What a great treat! Today, on a new walkabout trail around a small pond, a Mute Swan family has taken up residence. Like any family, father (above) protected his kids, the Cygnets (just below). Actually, he was quite aggressive at defending his territory from people passing by on the trail.
The Cygnets were carefree kids having fun around the pond and looking for snacks.
Mom kept close to the Cygnets even when dad was busy defending the family.
