Black Swan

Their mate was sat on a floating platform, tittivating the nest, with a huge egg balanced precariously on the edge which was ignored whole time.

Such a fabulous close up and detail!

[Susan Wakely]

Cute feathers stuck to its beak.

Wonderful close up. Is this the same swan you photographed sometime ago? I like the detail and I learned a new word today. One has to assume they knew what they were doing with that egg.

[Peter]

Stunning closeup detail and colours Jackie so well captured, Fav:)

You got a most impressive close-up here. Fav!

[Kathy]

Very nice close up of the swan. Do they usually have feathers on their face/beak like this or are did they stick there when it dipped its head in the water where they were floating or flying in the air.

[Lis Lapthorn]

Great shot.

Hope that egg survives!
