Hi Annie,..i do like Swans,..we get up to 70 or more close to where i live,.. some i know for years as they tend to nest in the same spot have cygnets and i keep track of them until they are big enough to fly away come winter,..when they return in spring its still easy to recognize the cygnets and parents,..the second year its impossible to recognize the Cygnets as they are full grown white Mute Swans.
