User's notes

I wouldn't have known they were there, nestled in the reeds, except that they starrted to move just at the right time. Was that two, three or four birds? Then they all emerged to swim across the pond and I relalised that it was a family of two adults and four cygnets. Certainly couldn't see them in the reeds.
