Safe with Mum and Dad

This pair of Mute Swans had built their nest in a small stream just to the side of the canal in Aylesbury. I watched them for a number of weeks incubating the eggs and was pleased to see seven signets hatch. This photo was taken soon after they moved onto the canal. It was late one evening and the light was not very good. I took loads of pictures as they swam around, but I like this one the most. To me this family group represents all the great things that Mother Nature can do.
