Five little cygnets and their momma and pappa overcome many obstacles to get to the salt marsh on the other side of the Bundoran Road. Through photographs, see how the swan family stopped traffic, how the parents got their toddler cygnets to cross the road, how the babies got over the wire fence that stopped their progress to the marsh, and, finally, how the swan family paddled off to the southwest.
The salt marsh is on Bundoran Road, outside of Mullaghmore, County Sligo, Ireland. The mountain Benbulben watches over the marsh and the swans.
