a swan story

[lizziebelle]

I went down to Heritage Park at lunch today, as usual, and noticed that the swans were nesting.



I decided to get a bit closer to see if I could get a good photo.Then the male swan started looking like he was going to charge me (and who could blame him? I could be raiding the nest for all he knows).



I must say that his display was quite impressive and would be intimidating to a potential predator. But then, he took a sharp right,



and stalked off toward the water, swimming off in a huff.



Which left his mate, busily building her nest, vulnerable to my viscious camera attack:



It was all very amusing. That male swan is the prissiest bird I've ever met. *g*

They're soooo beautiful.

That's quite a display from Mr. Swan, isn't it?

You're very lucky to get pics like that. Thanks for sharing.

Mebbe you just int'rupted his luvins...

I'd swim off in a huff too...

Naw, I wouldn't have bothered them if they were making whoopie. He was just watching his mate make a nest. ;)

These are wonderful. You managed to tell a whole story with your camera

Thanks! It occurred to me as I was uploading them that I could do this. :)
