Large Swan Families

This pair on the Abbey Mill stream have seven cygnets.

And this parent at the entrance to Abingdon Marina has eight.

Swan Upping comes to Abingdon on Friday July 18th this year. The final day of the week long Royal swan count should end at Abingdon Bridge at 17:30. But if these large swan families are anythingto go by, the final toast to 'The Queen' could be late.
