Swans 2013
There was a family of swans on Marden Wildlife Park in Cullercoats, North Tyneside. In 2010 they had their first brood and have done so annually since. However the offspring are reluctant to leave the lake, which leads to all-year-round confrontation between the parents and young.
And then there was one - say "Ahh" - June 2013
Only three cygnets for the adult pair this time - none survived
