They are beautiful, almost grown up, but still following their parents. They are hard to get in one photo, well done.
They are lucky to have them all. On my local lake, year after year they didn't survive, some got eaten by cats. But I have no idea why young boys feel the urge to throw stones at them? I have talked to some of the kids (I saw them doing it),they couldn't explain it either. Isn't it something boys used to do in the stone ages?
Well, this season there are no swans on my lake, I'm glad they have moved out to live in a better place.

Lovely photo! I've never seen young Black Swans at that age - they're quite beautiful!
Fantastic pano shot of the family. Looks as though they've had a successful year.
Cheers,
