Cygnet!

Female Mute Swan cygnet!

Spent the day with the RSPB group and went to Thetford Arboretum and Welney on the Great Ouse washes,this was taken at the Arboretum on one of the lakes!
An amazing bird spotting area where there are many species of migrating birds, todays special was the Whooper swans!
Extensive flooding prevented us from exploring the other many hides available!

But a lovely day out and a wonderful experience sitting in the large hides for the day!

Canon EOS 20D
1/160s f/5.6 at 135.0mm iso200 full exif

Terrific shot, Carole. You are the master of animal head shots. Your giraffe immediately comes to mind. Vote

Oh nice shot! This reminds me of one of my favourite sonds when I was a kid.

All through the winter in his lonely clump of wheat
Till a flock of swans spied him there and very soon agreed
You’re a very fine swan indeed!
A swan? Me a swan? Ah, go on!
And he said yes, you’re a swan
