| After hatching, parents led the cygnets to feeding grounds on lawns surrounding the lake or shallow water close to the shore. |
| When the eggs hatched, the mother swan paraded with her six grey cygnets in the bay in front of our house. |
| The mother had lived on the river for eight years and had hatched three cygnets this spring. |
| The added danger from predators in the river has led to the cygnets being killed by foxes each year. |
| The three cygnets are now well developed and in the fall when their feathers grow, they will rise in flight from the lake waters. |
| The two swans and their four cygnets became covered in oil after the dredgers dug the substance up from the canal bed. |
