They're so buoyant they can't dabble yet, but then they don't have the long neck,Β and their mum & dad pull up weed for them to eat.

I was at home watching developments, and saw Wynn get up & leave the nest, the cygnets following. Grabbing my camera, I rushed round to the Palace & toΒ the Outer Gardens, and was lucky to get a few shots.

Blessings for the favour, Alice m'deer
