I have been watching a nesting Whooper swan for a few months now and have seen the mother out with her cygnets. I took some photos with my video camera but they are a bit blurry. I will go back down with my scope and take some photographs through that which will be much better.

Whooper swan on nest taken in May. This was taken through my scope holding an android phone to the eyepiece.

I also wrote about it on my website:

This is quite a rare occurrence in UK.
