Cygnets Hatching

I thought I would share this photo I took on a visit to a swannery. By chance, I managed to glimpse a cygnet hatching just before mum sat back down on them. There were a clutch of six eggs and three were hatching.

Smashing
A true delight is to see is the baby turtles hatching and scratching their way through the sand, then running to the sea - fabulous sight !
