Description
While observing and photographing a family of Mute Swans, I witnessed something truly special—one of the cygnets hatching right before my eyes. The mother gently rose, revealing the newly hatched cygnet nestled among its siblings. Nearby, the last remaining egg showed signs of life—a tiny beak pushing through the shell, determined to join its family. By morning, the final beautiful cygnet will likely make its entrance into the world.
