Still Together

A quick walk to the pond was rewarded with this lovely sight..if you click on them, the photos should enlarge. They were taken from a long way off the pond as the parents are very wary.

Haven't they grown!

Both families still have all their babies.

I don't know whether it is normal behaviour, but they seem to be two families looking after their own young, but together - four pairs of eyes being better at spotting danger.

A quick walk on past the watermill - the swan is still alone, but seems content for the moment.

As Toby and I came under the old railway bridge and on to the homeward straight, I stepped into the barley field and took this shot of the Byre - now if only that were our front lawn! Eeek, no, think of how long it would take to mow.
