Behaviour in the pool

Hello All,

Sorry its been a while since I published my last post. As you know I have been monitoring the cygnets and other chicks growth, but I have been unable to photograph the interactions between the birds. So with this series of photos I have been trying to capture the behaviour of the wildlife in Swanpool lake.

Here are a few of the shots:

I took another trip down Swanpool Lake last night. It had cleared up after a miserable day so in the evening I spent an hour or two photographing the signets in the last remaining light. There are 6 cygnets in total.
