The Mute Swan is a large, all-white waterfowl native to Eurasia, widely recognized for its long, gracefully curved neck and a distinctive orange bill with a black knob at the base. Despite its name, it is not completely silent and produces hisses, snorts, and grunts, though it is less vocal than other swan species.

Size and Appearance:

Mute swans are among the largest flying birds. Adults have brilliant white plumage, black feet, and a prominent black knob (basal knob) on their orange bill, which is larger in males (cobs). When swimming, they hold their necks in an elegant 'S' shape, often with their wings slightly raised in a display known as "busking".

Habitat and Diet:

They are found in a variety of aquatic environments, including ponds, lakes, rivers, canals, estuaries, and sheltered coastal areas. Their diet primarily consists of submerged aquatic vegetation, which they reach using their long necks.

Behavior:

Mute swans form strong, long-lasting pair bonds and are known for their devotion to their offspring. They are highly territorial, especially during the breeding season, and will aggressively defend their nests and cygnets (young swans) from perceived threats, including humans and dogs.

Cygnets:

Young swans are typically covered in greyish-brown down (sometimes white, in a morph called "Polish swan") and have a dull, grey-black bill. They grow quickly, reaching near-adult size within three months, and attain full white plumage and the adult orange bill by their second year.

Lifespan:

In the wild, mute swans can live for over 20 years, with an average lifespan of around 10-11 years.

In Culture and Law:

The mute swan is significant in human culture. It is the national bird of Denmark and a symbol of love in many cultures due to its monogamous nature. It is also the subject of the famous Hans Christian Andersen fairy tale, "The Ugly Duckling".

In the UK, the British monarch retains the right to ownership of all unmarked mute swans in open water, a law dating back to medieval times. This ownership is primarily exercised on certain stretches of the River Thames through the traditional annual ceremony of "Swan Upping," which now serves as a population health check.

A Swords of Sanghelios Grunt and Halo 5 Arbiter.

I have to say I was a little disappointed in the Halo 5 campaign, but I did like Arbiter's design, and Arbiter being my favorite character in all of gaming I figured I'd make him.

The base designs for these figures were not designed by me, but they were edited by me. I'm not sure who orginally did the designs I mentioned, but Elite credit may go to TRSLegofan?

Endlich hat es geklappt!

Seit dem RheinCargo die vier Smartron‘s bekleben lassen hat, hat es nie wirklich geklappt sie zu erwischen, da immer etwas dazwischen kam.

 

Doch endlich hat es zeitlich für mich gepasst, und so konnte hier die 192 032 „Unterwegs mit Ökostrom“ mit dem Kohlestaubzug DGS 95086 aus Ulm Rbf nach Köln Eifeltor im schönen Abendlicht aufgenommen werden.

The one that didn't go to Macro Mondays. But I liked it.

Unterwegs im Waldbrandgebiet von 2022 in der Böhmischen Schweiz...der schwer vom Feuer gezeichnete Lange Grund (Dlouhý důl) zeigt sich mittlerweile im frischen Grün der Birken und Fichten. Darüber thronen die imposanten Felsen der Langgrundwände (Dlouhodolské stěny), die sich teils bis zu 200 Meter hoch über dem Talgrund erheben.
