Productive day at Blackbrook - think this is my favourite so thought I'd drop it in.

Some very small and unnecessarily cute Coscoroba Swan cygnets.

It's also in the gallery here: http://www.zoochat.com/192/coscoroba-swan-cygnets-blackbrook-29-04-a-212219/

I'll see your cygnet cuteness, and raise you with this little masked bandit: a Cereopsis Goose chick (photo taken about 10 minutes before Maguari's).
