Cygnet

While out walking this evening, my wife and I came across a fluffy grey cygnet on its own, along a reach of our local canal.  It looked happy and contented enough, dabbling away among the reeds, and I whistled a snatch of 'The Ugly Duckling' to it as we passed by.  But we couldn't see parents or siblings anywhere around, and I shall go to bed worrying about the little guy tonight!
