31st May 2021 - Not far from my house is Straiton Nature Reserve and Pond. We grew up knowing it as Lang Loan Pond or Dirty Dicks Pond.
There is an annual pair of breeding Swans. This year the pair have eight Cygnets. All eight look healthy. I took advantage of a quiet Monday, with beautiful sunlight, to photograph the Swans and Cygnets .
