What is that pink thing on the cygnets bill Dennis? I tried blowing the picture up but it didn't help LOL

A super picture you've taken of this parent and child - very well done my friend. We don't see these coming in too often.

A beautiful image of this parent and child and so nicely captured.
 
Delia, the pink color in the bill is natural in the first year as well as the grey feather. The Cygnets are only a few months old and when they return in the Spring the grey feathers will be changing to white and the pink bill will soon turn black.
