Swan by fishers

Swan

This young adult swan is one of two to be found on Rawcliffe Lake, close to where we live. Sadly I haven't seen their parents recently.

Rawcliffe Lake is an artificial lake created to assist with drainage on the site of the former Clifton Aerodrome at the time the area was being developed for housing, a shopping centre and an industrial estate.

It has develped into an attractive location with quite a variety of wildlife and it is worth a regular walk around its perimeter.

Super capture...He looks strong enough to hold his own without his parents. At least, I hope so.

Thank you all for your lovely comments and favs, they are very much appreciated.

I was slightly surprised not to see the older swans. Although the two youngsters are fledged, their parents have lived close to the lake for several years. Perhaps I just haven't been there at the right time to see them.
