Feeling Peckish

Gordon has been feeding the swans for the past few months, some will let him stroke them, others, like Scruffy here, will eat from his hand.

He was surrounded by at least 25 swans, all males and all a bit peckish!

That is brave of him. They must trust him. Love how you zoomed to the hand and the beak rather than the whole scene.

[Liz Milne]

Wonderful capture! I agree, he must be very brave.
