@kairospix: It was indeed a very exciting intimate moment to find them hidden away, although I felt a bit like a voyeur.

Why do you call them swooning?

@Shuva Brata Deb: I debated between swooning or swooning which are both dated verbs when used in this way.
Swoon = to be overwhelmed by happiness, excitement, adoration, or infatuation
Spoon = amorous behaviour such as kissing and cuddling

Well, well! I have never seen our black swans on Lake Burley Griffin out of the water - never! This is an eye opener - and what symmetry to catch them in a tete a tete!
