Common Merganser ( Female )
Mute Swan
Duck Week Continues!
What do baby swans dance to?
Cygnet-ure-tunes!
Interesting Fact: Young Common Mergansers leave their nest hole within a day or so of hatching. The flightless chicks leap from the nest entrance and tumble to the forest floor. The mother protects the chicks, but they catch all of their own food. They start by diving for aquatic insects and switch over to fish at about 12 days old.

Through Open Lens 
Love the sharp detail of the water ripples and reflections – and how it fades and blurs to the background. Frames the birds perfectly

Thank you, nice to see European Swans – ours are Black
I would like to see the European swan one day. Thank you very much for stopping by. 🙂
European Swans are much like Nordic ones,probably sub-species or different, but white. Australian Swans are Black – they come from Western Australia though are everywhere now. I’ll go and take some good picture of some.
Thank you very much for sharing that information with us, and I can’t wait to see your photos of them. 🙂
