 An Australian black swan and her family, which is almost too grown for their nest. The mother spent some energy chasing away a family of black ducks, but later on she took her cygnets off and the ducks took over the nest. I don't know what the eventual outcome was.

Cooll find! Looks like the "little" ones are rapidly outgrowing the nest. No more room for poor mom.

I recognise that look from any mother - she's sitting there saying " get that nest tidy now ! "
