Southampton Common - Swan Family Update from 20/6/13

Thursday 15th August 2013

Back on June 20th we came across a family of swans on the Boating Lake on Southampton Common, this is the family back then.

Mum, Dad and five cygnets.

Since then we have been back to the Common a few times and have seen the cygnets gradually getting bigger.  This is the family today.


Still Mum, Dad and five cygnets!


How good is it that the whole family is still on the Common and doing so well?  Whenever we walk on the Common there are always people feeding them or taking photos of them.  I hope they continue to do as well.  Another thing that seems to be doing well is the horrible weed on the lake, it doesn't cover it, it's mainly around the edges, but the swans don't seem bothered by it.
