Swans prevailed against the flood


A pair of swans who were fighting hard to save their nest from being swept away by rising floodwaters, have succeeded in saving their home, and in producing chicks as well.
The couple have impressed everyone by adding to their nest as the water rose, all the while keeping the "top floor" and eggs dry.
By the time the water stopped rising, they had added altogether 150 centimeters to the structure, and are still on top of it all, after the first three chicks are now hatched, and already paddling around the proud but watchful parents.
