Swans

Swans! – that was the subject line of an email from our reporter Idris Martin who sent in some photos of this pair and their brood in Abbotsbury, but not as you may think at the Swannery itself.

Idris says: “This pair of swans have produced 6 youngsters nesting on the island in the middle of the pond opposite the Old Barn at Abbotsbury. Last year, they successfully raised a brood of 5 cygnets.”

Forget all the bad stuff going on in the world for a moment and enjoy these photos…
