All aboard! Mother swan takes babies under her wing for trip across the pond
There comes a time on every family outing when the little ones can go no further and demand to be carried the rest of the way.
Having checked all were present and correct, the mother swan gently tucked back her wings to stop them falling off before gliding back to her nest.
‘The cygnets had been splashing in the water around their mum. They looked like they were starting to get tired and one by one started to scramble up on their mum’s back. She didn’t mind at all and even gave them a nudge up.
‘After they got settled in, she covered them with her wings protectively like a cushion and went on her way.
'
‘She kept looking back to make sure they were still there. It was almost as if she was giving them a quick telling-off to keep them in line. I could imagine them like kids in the back of the car saying, “Are we nearly there yet?” and squabbling.’
