skyringI got a postcard from elhamisabel today (Hmmm, how'd she get my address? No worries, drop in some day!) showing a white swan with a fluffy back.
I know what these little fluffballs are - the swans here do exactly the same thing. Makes it a bit puzzling when you see a family of swans coming across the lake - the two adults making swan noises and all these cygnet noises coming from somewhere invisible.
Then they arrive and unload, the kids jumping off into the water, the parents coming closer for a sandwich.
Of course here they are black, so it's not as easy to see the little ones until they get close.
Thanks for the postcard, elhamisabel. you are a sweetie for thinking of me!

And how could I *not* think of you when I saw this swan on the Sunday at the airport shop???
:-D
