Swan

Captured at Paxton Pits, old gravel pits converted to a wonderful nature reserve.

The magic of the golden hour...

❄️ Wishing you a happy and healthy New Year 2018! ❄️

The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurasia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species... wikipedia

Thanks for looking... :)

A male swan (cob) tries to impress his feeding mate (called a pen). Didn't work tho.....

I believe these are tundra swans. Could be trumpeters, but don't think so. Tundra swans are decidedly more common.

Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Winter is coming the edges of the lake are icing up and the swans are migrating going south. Never seen so many trumpeters in the last few days ever here. Love their trumpeting voice. Isle Lake Alberta .

Swans are truly exceptionally graceful creatures, especially during their love-dance!!

This one unfolding here in my photos, took place one sunny and cold day just a few years ago, in the old city of Brugge, in northern Belgium—the Belgian Venice! I happened to wander in Brugge alone with my camera that lovely sunny day, when I saw them!! I was instantly captivated by this magical spectacle!! And started shooting non stop…
