Autumn on Klöntal-Lake, Switzerland

Six young swans on the Klöntal-Lake (800 Meters above Sea level). Normally there are no swans on this lake. An Ornithologist thinks that they may be born in the nearby Walensee. The swan parents expelled the young swans to secure their own territory. Also the expert says that they sadly won't be able to stay on the lake, because they have to move away when winter comes. They are also endangered by being captured by foxes, which happened with the last young swan seen on this lake five years ago.
