11th March 2015 - Hiss!! by pamknowler

11th March 2015 - Hiss!!

This swan did not like the look of us!! As I was putting my things in the car boot he started to walk towards me. I spotted him and rushed round to get in the car. I was taking photos of the gulls through the open window when suddenly this hissing face came right up to the window- frightened the life out of me!! I think he was angry that we didn't have any food - or maybe he just didn't like me!! LOL!!

Wow just seen this on the PP - how wonderful!!

Uploaded for my alternate album
Gosh, Pam, that was a close one. I'll remember that if I ever am around swans. Fab capture.

Not certain that I would have had sufficient aplomb to have a taken a photo of him if I had received a shock like that so well done you.

What a great shot, love that bright orange beak and the lovely feather detail on his neck.

Haha, some of them are a bit grumpy, others are really friendly, we have some you can stroke. Nice shot though.
