Loch Flemington's pair of Mute Swans had produced a large family in 2013. By February 2014, the ugly ducklings were growing up into lovely birds. Loch Flemington is a kettle lake, produced towards the end of the last Ice Age when a huge block of ice broke off from the main ice sheet. With deposits still being laid down around the block, the melt-water had no easy way out and formed a loch.
