Swan

While sitting at the riverside this swan began preening. A beautiful bird.

Unfortunately I was unable to get near enought to catch its feet. However, later on I sat nearer the bankside and a swan climbed onto the same pontoon and I got a really close look at one of its feet. You can see its foot in full detail here...
