This story has a happy ending. It is not always the case. A few years ago a huge rainstorm washed that swan nest away. This year I saw the very best outcome possible - six healthy cygnets hatched out of six eggs laid. One of these babies hatched a day earlier than the rest but the nesting adult swan was able to keep it protected under its wing while keeping the remaining eggs warm. I have edited together a collection of video clips of the three days leading up to their birth and subsequent excursion into the wetland waters with their parents. The video can be viewed HERE. My brother composed and played the accompanying music.
If you look very carefully, you'll be able to notice the tiny sharp horny point at the end of the cygnet beaks. This has been cleverly designed to scratch the inner side of the egg to cause a crack to occur. That's an amazing piece of forethought in the design of Life.
Herron present is symbolic of the 'Stalk bringing in the babies'.
I'm wondering whether these adult feathers have been left loose for the cygnets to play with.
OK kids. The sun is warm enough. Lets go for an excursion.
This swan family has a very large following of excited humans who come each day to get a wellbeing lift, to experience a story that is really good news, not like what everyone is hearing in the media 24/7.
