BLACK SWANS
I have been photographing the black swans of Dawlish and their cygnets as they splash around in the river and mow the grass on the green

With their young cygnets to raise, the black swans are always on the lookout. Dawlish, South Devon.

The swans like to forage for food in the fast moving waters of the stream

The cygnets spend the latter part of the evenings grazing on the grass once the shoppers and tourists have gone home.
