Visited the swan family again (see photo of 7th May) and was both pleased and surprised that the number of signets was the same - 7. These are clearly very successful parents. The male (behind) was 'talking' to the signets and most of them were lined up to listen. Its moments like this that make the hobby so rewarding.
