All five Cygnets still doing well, and just before this photo taken, they were all asleep including their mother, on the river bank. Then suddenly a hoot from down the river and all their heads came up and excitement was in the air .... it was the father returning from somewhere. These two were mimmicking each other in an up and down motion almost trying to out do one another.
Watched the female Blackbird collecting bits and bobs out the kitchen window. Round and around, using at least five different landing spots before entering the nest in the hedge. So happy to have seen this before the new growth completely hides it. She's not decided which way is more comfortable. (I know the feeling) Swipe >for pic 2. Record shots

No birds or nests were hurt or disturbed while taking this shot - not so for the overdone sausages in the oven. 😊
Two birds engaged in a chase, perhaps the lower one (woodpigeon) avoided the predator by creating a stunning diversion !
I made this for unsprung because it's funny, I think, and I know that Chris would like it. Dominic North aged 11
