#MuteSwan

The #SundaySwan seems to be trying to creep up on these fine ducks.

The Saturday swan is sad because it can’t find its duck. True story.

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.

White Silence on Black Water

#muteswan #swan #waterfowl #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #avian #naturelovers #minimalism #blackbackground #fediversephotography

A white mute swan floats calmly on dark, still water, its long neck curved gracefully and wings slightly raised. The bird’s orange bill and black facial markings stand out against the deep black background, creating a striking, minimalist contrast.

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.

#FourDuckFriday accepts the allegiance of this understandably overawed swan.

A big white mute swan bows its head and dips its bill in the water humbly as four magnificent, but smaller, gadwall swim by.

Presque au centre de la photo, un cygne blanc au cou replié en forme de S et au bec plongé dans l’eau d’un marécage. Les berges ornées de roseaux et de joncs de mer. L’eau calme reflète la verdure et le blond des roseaux environnants. Le reflet du cygne est légèrement troublé en dessous de lui.

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 #Arkemheen!

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.

White Whisper on Dark Waters

#swan #wildlifephotography #birdlovers #naturemagic #avianbeauty #lakescape #muteswan #darkmood #wildnature #natureart

A single white swan glides quietly across a dark, still lake, illuminated softly against the backdrop of shadowy trees and muted brown reeds along the shore. The contrast between the bird’s bright plumage and the surrounding darkness creates a moody, atmospheric scene of solitude and calm.

The #SundaySwan has architecture and everything.

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.

Grace on the Water

#swan #muteswan #birdphotography #wildlifephotography #naturelovers #waterbirds #avianbeauty #europeanwildlife #lakeview #gracefulcreatures

A close-up photograph of a mute swan with its orange bill and graceful curved neck, its white plumage softly illuminated by daylight. In the foreground, another swan’s blurred neck forms an elegant arch, framing the focused bird against a calm, silvery water background.

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.

Unfortunately the #SundaySwan has displaced these ducks.

On a pond in a grassy park with a bench on the far side, a mute swan swims forward, a dozen ducks moving away before it
