Growing Up.

After a night of heavy rain, there was little chance of getting much of a walk this morning.  So, after cleaning through the house (long over-due), we took the opportunity of a quick walk round the estate, keeping to the paths and avoiding the waterlogged ground.
So, just a couple of pictures from our recent walks around Straw's Bridge.  Firstly, a couple of juvenile swans preening in 'tandem'.

Still with some of their 'baby' feathers showing through the white adult ones, they were doing their best to rid themselves of their childhood apparel in order to look more grown up!  Seems we're all the same at that age.
