Louise Ingram, Leading the Way (October theme: Family)

This mother certainly had her work cut out for her with 7 cygnets. A few weeks later I was back photographing this family again and found one of the cygnets stuck in the mud. Cutting a long story short - I can happily say the cygnet was saved and returned to its mum healthy and safe. A very happy outcome.
