I had found four swan families with cygnets in various stages of development.The number of cygnets varied from two to nine in number.The mute swan is a bird we tend to take for granted but particularly at this time of the year it is a delight to observe and photograph these family groups of birds.Shown above are some of my better efforts at swan photography.I particularly like the ones of the male birds in full sail taking advantage of the strong winds to patrol their patch of the canal. Thanks for looking in and now that Summer has officially arrived maybe the weather will warm up a bit.As I write it is pouring with rain accompanied by gale force winds!!
The single swan in the tall grass steals the show for me, but an excellent batch of photos!
ReplyDeleteBrian, excellent photographs, I just love Mute Swans, we have been watching a local pair. still sat on the nest but hoping for a good brood like these.... great shots
ReplyDeleteExcellent series Brian, the seven cygnets in the grass is brilliant and is my personal winner.
ReplyDeleteYes your'e certainly right Brian,swans are often overlooked,thanks for the article!
ReplyDeleteGreat series Brian,I`ve got to agree with with Spare Parts about the Swan in the tall grass.
