Swans and cygnets
Swans and cygnets. Mute swans (Cygnus olor) on water with their young. Mute swans are found in temperate areas of Europe, western Asia and coastal Russia. A pair of swans usually mate for life, and their offspring will forage with them after fledging at around six months. Juveniles become fully independent and leave their flock after around four years.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the serene beauty of a family of swans and their adorable cygnets gracefully gliding on the water. The image showcases the enchanting bond between adult mute swans (Cygnus olor) and their young, found in temperate regions of Europe, western Asia, and coastal Russia. Mute swans are known for their lifelong commitment to each other as they usually mate for life. After around six months, these majestic birds teach their offspring how to forage while exploring their surroundings together. It is heartwarming to witness this harmonious family dynamic in nature. The juveniles depicted in this photograph will eventually become fully independent after approximately four years. As they grow older, they will venture out on their own and leave the flock that nurtured them throughout their early stages of life. Simon Booth's skillful photography transports us into the idyllic countryside setting where these magnificent creatures reside. The tranquil waters provide a perfect backdrop for observing these elegant waterbirds up close. This remarkable snapshot not only celebrates the wonders of wildlife but also serves as a reminder of the intricate biology and ornithology behind such fascinating species like mute swans. Simon Booth's lens has captured an extraordinary moment that encapsulates both natural beauty and scientific curiosity within our world's diverse fauna.
