Ugly ducklings...


Today I found the time to spend the afternoon on, or around, the banks of the Dorset Stour, and it is there that I photograph the swan family in the picture. I hadn't planned on seeking out any particular wildlife, but couldn't resist the opportunity when it arose.

Danish author Hans Christian Andersen possibly had it all wrong when he penned his literary fairy tale, although at this stage of the cygnet's development they can seen a tad ungainly.

It's just a matter of time.
