I need to get out more moment

I have watched swans before, but this one had my curiosity up. Is it common for them to swim with one leg and have the other out of water and the foot out in back showing like this one? Give me you input on this please :)

I've seen it before, not a very common behaviour thaugh. Anyway when I saw it I never had the chance to take a picture.

|8.| I had never seen it before, Darlene... But I must say we don't have wild Swans here! ;) Trying to keep the foot dry, maybe? o:D Thank you for this interesting behaviour shot, girl! o:) :t:
 
Looking over my limited number of swan shots, I cannot find any. I have seen Grebes, ducks and goldeneys doing this quite often though. May be it is less frequent in swans.
