The Time to Hatch Draws Near

The time for the swans' eggs to hatch must surely be getting close. After so many trials and tribulations it will come as a relief to Mum and Dad to finally see all their hard work come to fruition. Swan followers will also be able breathe easily!

The question now is how many eggs will hatch from the five that have been laid?
