Swans in February

Saturday was beautiful here, and having my birdwatching brother to stay, we visited Caerlaverock Wildfowl and Wetlands Trust Centre near home to see a Lesser Scaup (a rarity - should be in North America!).

Here are one or two photos from our outing:

Mute and Whooper swans



Close up of a Whooper



Whoopers whooping!



Whoopers in flight ( entered this one for the February competition)




And last but not least, a Canada Goose portrait!

 

hello there, took this in my local nature reserve

 

Fantastic photos, JarBax, love the "Queens" swans however they come. Swans are for life and so beautiful.

We went to the Acores for our 25th and there were black swans there and I was just in awe.

Love your guy/gal, rosa, are you going to paint it?
