One of the first cygnets to hatch early takes a dip in the water at Abbotsbury Swannery, on May 10, 2011 in Abbotsbury, England. The first of more than 1,000 cygnets that will hatch over the next six weeks have started arriving two weeks earlier than normal this year, the second earliest date ever recorded since the swannery began 600 years ago. It's thought that the high temperatures in March and April encouraged the swans to nest early. There are currently about 900 swans and 150 nests at the site, which is the world's only managed colony of wild mute swans. By Matt Cardy/Getty Images.
