| Didn't she do well - the parent shows off her brood |
MUTE swans seldom lay more than seven eggs, but there has been an exception at Cleethorpes country park.
The mother was today showing off no fewer than eight cygnets.
However, there are many dangers ahead - for instance natural predators, dogs and airguns - so not all are expected to survive.
In the first part of this week, however, all have been doing well - and also attracting plenty of human admirers.
Although a clutch of eight eggs is unusual, there are records of as many as 12.
