Swan

mute swan on nest

While walking around a local lake I spotted a mute swan on her nest. I snapped a photo before taking a detour to avoid getting too close :-)

  1. We have a lot of them here, but they are the alien species for us.

  3. She looks so serene. I suspect she would have looked less peaceful if you had wandered too close to her nest. Beautiful white feathers; vicious serrated beak!

  5. I remember taking a photo of a swan down by a river when she and her friend decided it was time for dinner. They were obviously very used to people giving them bread - and I had none. They took some persuading, and they are big!
