An immature swan comes in to land (to water?)…

Loved this immature’s markings, so distinct, as if it’s been embroidered…

More swans, more ducks, all of a muddle. What’s the attraction?

What a wonderful selection of water birds! I am seriously jealous! And of course the gulls were first. They are so rude!

In summer the *black* head is more like a chocolate brown hood. Watch this space, I’m sure to feature one sooner or later

It’s so shy, although it is quite common. While the Spectacled Egyptians are still settling in, but know how to get the dolings from admiring public
