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!

One last swan image, I am quite excited about this pair and hoping to be able to observe them with their family.
I am fortunate to have the Ifield Millpond at the bottom of my road. However - this pic is from my archives as I haven't been able to visit it lately.
The swans were very accommodating that day as they were ducking [or should that be 'swanning'?] and diving right in front of me for ages.
The Millpond is divided into two main areas - the smaller 'pond' where the old restored Mill is sited and the much larger Lake, which fortunately for me is my side of the railway that cuts across it.
Last year the local Council built a walkway that reaches to the middle of the lake and a path that goes right around, which is brilliant !
I do hope I'll be able to get over there again soon ....

This is another shot from Grasmere Lake on a very still September evening. I wanted to capture the concentric circles around the Swan. I used HDR again from a single RAW image.

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…
