These Whooper swans were finding food in all that mud

Need to go Large on this one if you have time

This must be one of the most low contrast shots I have ever posted. The grey seals and the mud they are fighting in merge together totally. The fight was as ever over territory and they kept it up for some time with no clear result. It could even be seen as a metaphor for the crazy times we are living in.

It was taken at the Donna Nook reserve on the Lincolnshire coast

This Pacific golden plover has been probing the rain soaked ground for earthworms and insects. There is mud on its bill and head. But my favorite detail is the adorable eyelashes. (View large.)

Camouflaged for ground nesting, the Kolea (Pluvialis fulva) annually migrates from breeding grounds in Alaska and Siberia to tropical Pacific islands over thousands of miles of open ocean. After 3 to 4 days and nights of non-stop flying it arrives at the first landfall, Hawaii. A magnificent navigator, it uses the stars and the earth’s magnetic field to find the exact same location each year. This one winters in Hawaii. Some continue on into the southern hemisphere as far as New Zealand.

The sleeping Mud Maid was created by local artists Sue Hill and her brother, Pete. This, and their other mud sculpture The Giant's Head, were designed to enhance the woodland experience, following the fashion of Victorian ornamentation.

I'm still in random mode with my Flickr posts.

A mudder in horse racing is a horse that runs well on a muddy track. As we watched this young bison calf running full speed through the mud and water of French Creek in Custer State Park, South Dakota, I told my wife, "he's a mudder".

Like tractionless wheels

They spin in place and throw up mud

The perforated lung

Thick smoke presses down

It’ll be phoned in

The bogged down inertial stench

Decaffeinated law

The mud makes motion low

This little critter was in the process of building a new house on a ladder support behind my garage. They gather mud from a nearby creekbed and bring it back to stick it on the "home."

Sometimes standing up after a mud bath presents problems for little elephants. Keeping their feet under them on slippery ground is a learned art.

Conforme se retira la marea va dejando al descubierto una orilla llena de alimento, pero también cubierta del fango más fino.

As the tide recedes, it reveals a shore full of food, but also covered in the finest mud.

A participant runs through a flooded and muddy section of the Merkur Grazathlon in Graz, Austria, on 13 June 2026. The annual Grazathlon is a city-centre obstacle race in which competitors tackle a 5 km or 10 km course featuring more than 20 obstacles, including stair climbs, walls, rope elements, water crossings and mud pits. This photograph shows runners leaving one of the event's mud containers in Augarten Park before continuing along a slippery, waterlogged stretch of the course.

Huntington Beach State Park about a half hour before sunrise. "Pluff mud" is a low country South Carolina (and maybe others? I'm a transplant) for brackish swampy mud with a peculiar odor similar to a pulp mill...this place doesn't actually have the odor, though.
