A mother swan carries her four cygnets on her back in this charming scene captured by wildlife photographer Paul Goldstein on Wimbledon Common, London, in May 2021. He explains: I have photographed swans many times but seldom seen this avian taxi service. I got excited with one being ferried across the (swan) lake but four was incredible. It is tough to bring up cygnets through to adulthood but there are many diligent and willing custodians who frequent the common so they should have every chance. Where: Wimbledon, London, United Kingdom When: 08 May 2021 Credit: Paul Goldstein Cover-Images.com **Editorial Use Only**
