Not many things are prettier than the grace of a swan. On the lake of the Palacio Real de la Almudaina in Palma we have a brace of white swans – years ago there was a pair of black swans, but one died and the other one got into a severe depression and had to be moved to a home for widowed swans. Recently, the pair of white swans have grown into, one can only assume, a happy family of five. Three little swan babies, or is it chicks, have hatched a few weeks ago. The proud parents show off their brood happily to the visitors, begging for attention and perhaps for food as well. I think we should not feed the swans but I definitely think you should go and see the regal offspring next time you make your way to Palma. It is such a pretty, graceful and soothing sight.
We are so lucky to be blessed with such marvels of nature, right at our doorstep, so to speak.

I believe a young swan is called a cygnet.
By the way, I’m an avid reader of your blog, sat wishing I was in Mallorca, rather than the wet UK.
We too have a family of swans in our local park here in Renfrew, Scotland. The Cob or male Swan, the Pen or female Swan and their offspring or Cygnets. I also wish I was in Mallorca rather than a very wet Scotland.
