    Hey Jim, good morning or evening, (depending what part of the planet we are on!) Nice capture of the local wildlife of Newton Stewart. The Swans seem to be a very close knit family. Its good to see that they are healthy & doing well.

    Have a good day or night! : )
    (Its almost 8am here, I presume its around 3pm there...)

    My connectivity actually let me watch and listen to a few seconds here and there and the family is beautiful. The cygnets are so big now.
    Have a great day over there Jim!

    Thanks for all you nice comments lovely people.

    Bob, I seem to remember in my army days of a regiment who had an annual regimental dinner where swan was on the menu, but I can't find any reference on the internet.
    Apparently one of the Samuel Pepys favourite dishes was roast swan and Mrs Beeton had a recipe. In Peter Young's book 'Swan,
    Page 147 has some interesting images and recipes.
