Are you my mother? The day we've been awaiting has arrived! When I got to the nest this morning the pen had her wings widely spread across the nest, and the right one was quivering. I was sure there would be cygnets under there. I had to wait about an hour for her to get up so I could peek underneath, and there was the prize - the first cygnet! If you look directly behind the cygnet's head, there is a pile of grass, but no second cygnet.
Hello world! The day we've been awaiting has arrived! Under the pen's watchful eye, the newly-hatched cygnet glances at its new world.
And then there were two! Now look between the pen's beak and the first cygnet's head. There's a little, shiny eye! Cygnet number two has hatched! (I'm expecting one more.)
