Where's Daddy?

The pen was quietly staying with the 4 cygnets, while the cob was unfurling his wings and angrily moving towards a large dog that was attempting to retrieve a ball. The dog backed off, but eventually retrieved the ball when the swan family moved away.

The large black fleshy lump at the base of the bill is much larger and more pronounced on the cob, this can be called the "berry".

Always good to see swans and when they are surrounded by their little cygnets how can one resist a few snaps. Well done Amelia.

Keep cool. Herb
