how do you do? by summerfield

how do you do?

partner and i went to the pond this morning. the swan family was out and about, showing off their offsprings. sadly, there were only three cygnets now; last sunday there were five little ones.

here the pair wobbled right up to partner and he did what he saw me do last tuesday night: he talked to them, to the amusement of the other people around so they started to gather behind him to watch.
A sad but nevertheless very interesting account.

I wonder who would be the predator of cygnets - birds?

@gooner46 - thank you, chris.

@maggiemae - i think so. i see the red-winged black birds dive bombing the swans all the time. the swans would just be minding their own business and the black birds would relentlessly bug them. i also saw a man came out of the bushes with his two dogs. there are a lot of inconsiderate people among us, you know. thank you, maggiemae.

Sad about the cygnets, hope the remaining three survive. I love the photo, it does look like the swans are listening!

Maybe the cygnets are just exploring somewhere else. I choose to think that. Great picture. Love your husband's audience. :-)
