As soon as Nigel and I got home from Devon Cliffs the first thing he wanted to do was go down to the lock to check on his swans and their eggs ………..
…….. lets just say it was very, very emotional reunion, I am even filling up a little myself.
At first Nigel didn’t think anything had happened in our absence, but, as he was watching quietly, a tiny little head popped out from under the mummy swans wings ……
I think poor Nigel was beside himself at that moment ………
…….. he certainly came home with moist eyes and a drip on the end of his nose …… 
…… because, he said that when the mum rearranged herself on the nest, as she lifted herself up he was pretty sure there were another two swanlings under her! As I said at the beginning, it was a very emotional home coming for Nigel ……. and if he disappears now and again I am pretty sure I will know where to find him! He says when he is a little more together he will have a think of some names for The Triplings!

Oh my goodness - adorable - and how lucky you are all to witness this so close at hand. Very emosh here too! JantheFan x
How wonderful!.....Nigel's job as guardian of the swan family will obviously require a great many visits each day to ensure all is well......when the swanlets (?) actually appear from under mama's wing, he will be beside himself and probably want pictures taken regularly......watching those babies grow is going to be his main occupation for quite a while!....Love, Dianne
What a wonderful surprise-looking forward to seeing more photos.
