I found the swan family this afternoon on the western side of the harbour, a fair distance from the nest. They are sticking really close to their parents. Hopefully this will keep the three day old cygnets safe from the fish, turtles and mink that would do them harm.
The three day old cygnet has spotted the prize, a tender morsel of grass.
I doubt the swans and their three day old cygnets will return to the nest now. I found them this afternoon on the western side of the harbour, a fair distance from the nest.
