....and Mother Makes Five

By Fefe
Here is the Mum of these babies

I think its Mum, could be Dad, When I see two swans together its easy to spot who is the male, but I am no David Attenborough and I am not even sure if Dad sits on the nest. So I am going for the assumption that this is Mum Wink I think there was five cygnets so that doesn't quite go correct with the title, but and mother Makes Six doesn't quite have the same ring to it Tongue Please view large.


Thank you all so much for yesterdays C&C and UA's on my upload 'Hot Lips', really appreciated!

Fess up, Diane, you kept losing count at three, didn't you.Wink

Today's useless fact: Here in Norway 'han' is him and 'hun' is her, There is now a third alternative for those who identify as neither - 'hen' which makes me smile when thinking what gender hen is in English...

A quick break while Dad looks after the cygnets (your auto predictive spelling thingy is obviously no ornithologist!)
Lovely photo, Diane.
