It was a nice sunny afternoon down by the boating lake in Portishead today.

One of our most iconic waterbirds, the Mute swan (Cygnus olor) is famed for their grace and beauty. They are also considered to be a romantic of the bird world because partners form a perfect love heart with their necks.

I went out for a walk across Gordano valley and saw this Mute swan (Cygnus olor) on one of the drainage ditches.

They certainly aren't an ugly duckling!

Mute swans feed on plants, particularly waterweed. They usually mate for life, but some will have numerous partners.

Gerade die Zeit jetzt ist, vor allem wenn das Wetter passt, echt gut um an Seen zu fotografieren. Das Erlebnis hier mit dem Schwanenpaar ist leider schon ziemlich lange her. War aber immer wieder schön früh am Morgen nach einer klaren windstillen Nacht am See mit etwas (oder auch viel) Nebel über dem Wasser.
