THREE grey balls of extremely cute fluffiness have been wowing the crowds at Dawlish this weekend

Hatching in time for the weekend the Black Swan cygnets have proved a big attraction on The Brook, unwittingly taking part in numerous impromptu photo-calls as they appear and disappear under mum, much to the delight of locals and early Spring holidaymakers.

Black Swans, native to Australia, have been at Dawlish since the early 1900s. Although the line was lost between the two World Wars, they have been a part of the town since being re-introduced in the late 1940s.

And with three new kids on the block, it looks like that line is set to continue.
