So spectacular! I live in London. Last week on Hampstead Heath three mute swans flew and circled the ponds in formation, the sound of their wings a dull roar. A couple of months earlier a newly fledged cygnet gave its wings a tryout, taking off from a pond and landing on a grassy slope a few hundred feet away.
Excellent to see them flying high over a built up area. I live on the west shore of Lake Ontario and have seen them flying many times but seldom at a great height. I think they only do that when they are crossing built up areas away from a watercourse.Thanks for posting it.
