A white swan swimming along with its head and neck bent at an odd and inquisitive angle, making it seem like it is looking for something and not very happy.

It is #FourDuckFriday, I think - the days are getting hard to track. So, pick your four ducks from this selection and they are the #DuckOfTheDay. Mind the geese and swans though as they are #NotADuck.

A part-frozen marsh lagoon with mud in the foreground and reeds in the background. It is littered with a mixture of wigeon, canada geese and mute swans.
Ursprünglich kam der Höckerschwan im nördlichen Mitteleuropa, im Baltikum und im Bereich des Schwarzen Meeres vor. Die Populationen in Westeuropa stammen von Park- und Ziervögeln, die ab dem 16. Jahrhundert gehalten wurden. Seinen Namen verdankt der Höckerschwan seinem großen schwarzen Stirnhöcker oberhalb des Schnabels.

Didn't find the cattle or little egret and no additions to the life list, but it was a nice time being out in the sunny weather at !
🪶

Great Egret (Ardea alba) that just caught a small fish. Barnacle goose (Branta leucopsis) in the grass between pruning sessions so its feathers are still a little puffy.Three Northern lapwings (Vanellus vanellus) in some shallow water. The iridescent green and purple on their wings comes out nicely in the sunlight.Three mute swans (Cygnus olor) flying low above the water.

A mute swan, the sterotypical big white swan with a curved neck and an orange bill, swimming up river a moment away from disappearing behind a sandstone retaining wall that has small blocks, a lip/ledge above them and a big block with a kind of border thing around it, that forms part of the riverbank.

The #SundaySwan is seeing to its appearance, not because it is vain but because it is trying to make up for the fact that it is #NotADuck.

A big white swan standing in shadows, with dappled light falling on its flank as it bends its neck to preen the front of that wing with its orange bill.
