This week at the lake (Etherow) was surprised to see the Swan family down from the Keg Pool, the last time I was up there the Baby could have fitted on your hand, look at him/her now.
Not a fluffy little chick now!.
Mum and Dad with the ever faithful Queen Tut
Queen Tut still armored to the Big Daddy, always getting between him and the female!.
Afternoon Nap, but Queenie still got an eye out for any intruders.
Bath time
Are you sure he's not mine??, handsome enough!.
Queenie what a colourful bird!.
Another family unit that's been at Etherow for years, with their bodyguard!.
Only one Cormorant today, I think all the rest are at Reddish Vale!.
Plenty of Gulls about on the perches provided by the yacht club.
Quite an old picture of Queenie butting in on the Swans, doesn't seem to realize that Twos company, Threes a crowd. This was when Mate Bob and I thought it as a King Tut!
This Female Swan died and the King Tut after investigation turned out to be a Queen Tut, as you can see in the pictures above still faithful to the male swan, even if its not getting her anywhere.
A lot of the same family pictures today but they are rather nice creatures aren't they!.

Age is a very high price to pay for maturity.
Maybe its true that life begins at forty.
But everything else starts to wear out, fall out or spread out.
