The trumpeter Swan Society said they were juveniles and wouldn&#8217;t mate for a while yet. They are generally monogamous and mate for life.<\/p>\n<p>Last year it looked as though they were going to mate, but it didn&#8217;t happen .This year they started nest building\u00a0 in early April, and started incubating in late April. This can take over a month, and I found three cygnets this morning.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve got a lot of photos and video, so I&#8217;ll just try to post the best of the lot.<\/p>\n<p>This video is from
