Just an excellent behaviour shot his whole flying mode is on brakes on, so he wouldn't hurt the little ones at all I guess, they took a tumble but are soon bobbing on the waves fine along with their protective dad :D

You were really spot on and made me laugh with the one foot in the air of the second cygnet, well done Ashley :clap: :D :clap:
