Mute swan.

Rather a sad story here. In July there was a family of 2 adults and six cygnets (see below) but in August a dog killed one of the adults and a cygnet. It was reported that the dog's owner was encouraging it. As if these wonderful creatures don't have enough to contend with...

The most appalling light conditions today to try out the new camera. It is certainly a lot quicker on the draw than the old one (550D) but there are still some settings I need to get right but I think, in time, we will get to know each other better. Post processing is better too, you can correct your images much better.

What a glorious sight to see out on the river! I never tire of viewing these magnificently beautiful large birds.

Last of my series of Male Mute Swan's chasing geese and other swans out of their territory. They certainly are busy at this time of year!

Spring has arrived in Finland and the thick ice cover has melted away, however, night frost has built a thin layer for the Swans to break during the day time.

"Ooh, Toe nou jongens toch. Al die aandacht van jullie maakt me verlegen."

Voor de jonge Knobbelzwanen (Cygnus olor) is het lente en zijn op zoek naar een Levenspartner.

"Ooh, come on guys. All that attention from you makes me shy."

For the young Mute Swans (Cygnus olor) it is spring and they are looking for a partner.

This swan is enjoying a haul out onto the bank of the river. Not the same swan that's sitting on the nest.

So you enjoy living in the light, with happiness and stillness. You will only truly appreciate it after you’ve been in the dark. Then you will have true joy and serenity ~ Unknown

I hope everyone is having a happy and peaceful Sunday :-)
