  Lovely pictures Ed - thanks.
  
  The Cygnets are quite large to still be grey, when do they change ?
  
  Looks like a pep talk in the bottom photo.

  No problem with yobs that I am aware of as this is Kearsney Manor, which is the care home across the road from Kearsney Abbey. Having said that, there is a picturesque house in the grounds occupied by nuns as the care home is owned by a religious order. I suppose that there is a possibility they may be German paratroopers but they seem a bit small and wrinkly.
