One of our Camera Club members has been at Coate Water picturing baby swans carried by their parents.

Sharon Ward snapped these stunning swans and their cygnets.

Mother and father swans share the care of their cygnets, carrying them on their backs and using their wings to protect them from harm.

If you would like to contribute your photography to our Camera Club, you can join the Swindon and Wiltshire Camera Club group on Facebook.
