Four out of the six trumpeter swan cygnets feeding on the marsh. One was hidden behind them and the other was out of view. It won't be long before they join other family groups to prepare for their journey south.

Beautiful composition of the swan family Heather, I have been waiting for this one. I agree with Yves, the blue water colour really does enhance the swan family. I like the foreground fringe of grass and the marsh in the background frame the overall composition nicely. Nice to see and hear the family is doing well. Lovely shot.

Love that shot Heather. I don't know how you got that colour of the water but it enhence the white swans family beautyfuly. Nice reflection of the pretty family. btw my eye is always drawn to the one with the black beak on the right. Great shot.
