I spent an hour or two this morning at Queens Park in Moonee Ponds, Melbourne. We had blue skies and lots of sun (for a while!). Mother black swan and her three baby cygnets were lounging in the sun on the grass beside a pathway. Mother swan loudly hissed at anyone who came too close to her babies. The lake with the fountains is the place these babies, and many other birds, live. There are breeding grounds on the islands in the lake. A very pleasant few hours well spent!
