Cygnus olor

Les oiseaux d’Europe de l’Ouest, introduits et domestiqués à l’origine, sont largement conditionnés à la présence humaine et dépendent fréquemment d’habitats artificiels et de nourrissage. Ils préfèrent les rivières au cours régulé, les canaux, les plans d’eau ornementaux ou de carrières, les réservoirs… Plus à l’est, l’espèce évite l’homme et s’installe préférentiellement sur les lacs pourvus de hauts fonds garnis de végétation aquatique.
Le Cygne se nourrit surtout de végétaux aquatiques qu’il obtient en plongeant la tête jusqu’à 1 m de profondeur. Il mange aussi des graines et des plantes émergentes à la surface, ou des graminées qu’il broute à terre. Les quelques animaux consommés régulièrement incluent des amphibiens et leurs larves, des mollusques, vers et insectes.

Remarkable & quite wonderful to witness this tiny miracle.

The first-born cygnet! There was some discussion about calling it "Attenborough", since it is David Attenborough's birthday, which I think is a splendid name https://www.flickr.com/photos/woolamaloo_gazette/54506574590/in/dateposted/

Snuggled up between Mama and Papa Swan here.

First cygnet from our new swan couple has emerged, then while I was standing there with chums, a second egg started hatching!

Quick snap with phone, fingers crossed some closer pics with the big camera come out, will check and upload when home

Papa (to be) swan relaxing in evening sunlight by the side of the Union Canal, close enough to keep a watchful eye on nearby mama swan, who was sitting on their eggs in the nest.
