Cader river - stones.

Also a broken stool.

Condem the culprit.

A nearby farmyard.

Boyde Farm it is known as.

Has stable and barn.

-------------

Fleeing skunk to stable.

The swan is waterborne too.

Head bowed - searching.

Sour skunk in sour mood.

Beware fleeing skunks rear end.

Skunk is not afraid.

Swan visits stable.

Sighing, she delivers brood.

And looks for food.

When swan is away.

The skunk investigates!

Surprised by "chirrup".

Of breaking eggs!

A meal at last for me?

Busy swan scurries back.

Outrage; skunks intent!

Quaking and flapping her fear.

Downy swans appear.

Small and fluffy.

Staying together for warmth.

Mother delighted.

Newborn scent pervades.

Mother snuggles her young brood.

And counts six young.

"Chirrup"; swans chirp.

Each excited at their mum.

Gathering to her.

Taste of newborn.

Is as, bedding of straw nest.

Mixed with droppings.

White and serene:

Swans have white furry coats.

They have yellow beak.

Busy swan mother.

Collecting food for brood.

Soon they learn to swim.

The chicks are named.

Down to the river they go.

Floating on river.

Swans diving for food.

Tit bits in the murky depths.

Paddling the river.

Serenly floating.

 In Cader river this noon.

Gracefully gliding.
