Description
"Three down three to go", said the hatching mother swan, while protecting the three little chicks and the other three eggs in the nest. While traveling in Germany, Lake Constance, area at springtime, I noticed and watched this bird for a few days building the nest from branches found on the beach. I was lucky enough to be there at the right time and see the little ones coming out to live. Her work was half done and everyone was happy.

Constance Lowery
is that an artificial egg or another bird species egg in the nest?
Tatiana Travelways replied:
Constance, I don't think so... it looks to me like an egg that somehow started to crack - I have no idea, as I couldn't go close to the swan and look under her :) I took my photo wit the telephoto from a bridge crossing a narrow side of the lake. I wouldn't approach her.
