New Forest Swans and Cygnets

We've been away for a few days visiting a cousin on the edge of the New Forest on the Hampshire/Dorset border. We parked the car just to have a look around and this swan family came swimming towards us. Notice the little one hitching a ride.

A wonderful sight and capture, Sue! I love how the little cygnets are between the two parents. And the little one hitching a ride is too adorable! Big fav!

[Carole Sandford]

Lovely shot. I like the one that can be seen between the wings of the front swan. Not sure if it’s in the water or riding.

[Joanne Diochon]

The proud parent parade.

[Pat Knowles]

Aw so lovely to see.

[Babs]

Aw so sweet. Love the little one hitching a ride. I hope they all survive.

[Beth]

How endearing, great catch.

Oh Sue! So very lovely, I do hope they all survive.
