swans

but I still love you. :)

I captured this duck this month at Magnolia Plantation, I prefer song-birds but as KC says all birds are beautiful. I wish it was a little sunnier when I took this but this is January and it's a lot of rain and overcast.

Got these the other week at my favorite stomping ground, Magnolia Plantation and Gardens. They are pretty to me.

This photo was taken up at my cottage in Orillia, Ontario on Shannon Bay off of Lake Simcoe, on June 5th, 2018

No sparkling blue water but instead located in the marsh. This is the first time I have seen one. I clicked away to try to salvage a good photo. The lighting wasn't participating with me and after editing on my Photoshop elements 2018 I added some contrast and obtained this. It is a pretty...

Got these two girls resting at a neighborhood. I thought they were cute. I think the one on the left might be a Mamma or an older female.

Caught this beautiful family enjoying a swim in the pond. Very charming indeed.

.... or Loch Looking hard right from the hide, sort of north east. Part of the bog bean islands in the foreground. Loads of Mute and a few remaining Whooper Swans in the area. There's another (raised) hide closer to where they are, but I don't often manage to get there nowadays. Where I took...

Fifteen swans and one aggressive one.

I think this is a female. I took this while on my Anniversary with my wife at Huntington Beach State Park,Murrells Inlet, South Carolina.

Felmersham gravel pits Bedfordshire, otherwise known as the pits of death. Springtime the lakes would have many geese, ducks, swans and many more on nests, they seemed OK, eggs hatched out and within 3-4 days all gone, dead, killed by someone. It was like this for two years, so i did some...

There is a breeding pair of swans every year in the Garnqueen Loch, Glenboig. Every year they have between 4 & 6 cygnets. This isnt the best of shots as they stuck to the center of the Loch so a bit of a distance to get close. But I thoughts it was well worth sharing

Went to my favourite park to see how big the signets are getting boy they have grown can you tell me why the other adult swan has gone it was lovely to see them looking healthy but I did not like the state of the park its been school holidays there was rubbish everywhere I scooped out the...

These swans were playfully following one another and I swear, it looks like they actually walk on water!

This is a Mute Swan. It is native to much of Europe and Asia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is also an introduced species in North America, Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species.

Something like 39 degrees today at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge. Tried to get a few shots of the flock of 20 migrating swans there, but they are still at the maximum reach of my camera. Guessing they are Tundra or Trumpeter swans.

Over 20 migrating swans at Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge in the rain and mist, at the max reach of my Canon SX50.
