Taken the other day down at the Local Lake, They have all flown to better and warmer waters and only five swans remain on the lake, they should all be back in spring.
Soft and downy, very nice capture, Tony.
{I found this on wikipedia the other day which seems to be evident in your shot: " feathers (particularly on the head and neck) are often stained orange-brown by iron and tannins in the water."}
That's interesting. I was researching about cygnets, what season they hatch etc, when I came across the info about the colour of swans' feathers. I find out lots of facts via 365!
