Eine Stockente liegt auf einem Baumstamm im Wasser, eine Graugans steht rechts daneben, von hintenrechts schwimmt ein Höckerschwan heran. Alle schauen nach links. Der Schwan schnappt mit aufgerissenem Schnabel nach der Gans.

A tree trunk in front of a lake. A rope hangs from the tree and over the water. A group of swans swims by. You can see the forest at the other side of the lake. Everything is quiet and peaceful. The sky is blue with some clouds.

One of my favourite photographs from 2016- this one was taken at Slimbridge Wetland Centre. The swan pictured here is a juvenile, a cygnet, that's why the feathering is grey rather than white.

Warbler season is starting. I spent an hour in the woods taking pictures and I have ONE half-decent photo to show for it. A good warbler picture is something to be proud of. #birds #birding #birdsofmastodon #birdphotography #nature #naturephotography #photography #hoosiermast #warblers #migration #swan #cormorants #finch

I washed and filled my little fountain and almost immediately, I had a client. A house finch, brown and white speckled, perched on one of the plastic struts and drank from the fountain. I have never seen birds bathe in it, but the finches will drink.
I saw a mute swan today. It is all white and has an orange beak with black around the eyes and the top of the beak. They generally don't migrate, so this one is probably from around here somewhere.
Ten years ago, I didn't see a single cormorant around here. Now they are everywhere and there are lots of them.
A bird with an olive head, a white eyering and white wingbars. Who is it? Who knows. Best guess is female Magnolia, but probably I am wrong. I am always wrong when it comes to fall warblers.

This black swan came and hung around for a good few minutes before starting to poke around in the gravel in the shallows of the lake.

There were some eels ( "tuna" in Maori ) swimming around underneath, which the swan kept nipping at to move them out of the way...

Closeup of a swan's head, black-feathered with a red eye. It has a bright red beak with a white stripe across it near the bitey end.

The swan is looking right at me, hoping, I think, for a tasty morsel.

Moin! #whooper #swan's
I'am really excited - the resident pair has a #cygnet !
First time ever since I monitor this patch.
There are residential #whooper swans (2 pairs, unfortunately 1 adult died 21/22 due to avian flu, 3 remaining).
Look how bright the cygnets plumage is already, hatched much earlier than in hight north-east.
Sorry for bad picture, taken before sunrise at a dull morning at the moor lake.

Leda and the Swan

///

ChatGPT-4:

Leda, queen of Sparta, was seduced by Zeus, disguised as a swan. From this union, two eggs were produced: one hatched Helen (destined to cause the Trojan War) and Polydeuces; the other Castor and Clytemnestra. This myth illustrates the often capricious and intrusive actions of the gods in Greek mythology.

The sun was setting as the Mute Swan was heading back to the nest after a long, hard day chasing Canada Geese. Sunset cast an orange glow on the slightly rippled water as the Swan gently glided home.

Took this photo of a black swan as he was trying to snooze with his head tucked in his back feathers. Of course, I didn’t go unnoticed with his one eye open watching my every move. Gave him a little artistic makeover for his public debut.

Last stop, Nature Park Lelystad. 👀

I had no clue that it even existed!

You can walk in the (free) park and have a chance of seeing large animals as wisents, large deers, horses, moose, and birds as wild swans and spoonbills. The key word is ‘chance’ as they have all the space to hide. Which, many of them did. 😂
But I saw a few.
(6/6)

#roadtrip #TheNetherlands #Flevoland #NatuurparkLelystad #animals #deer #spoonbill #swan #photography

A large deer with grass stuck in its antlers, looking towards the camera. In green grass (grass can be yellow ;-)
Spoonbills! 4 on a branch in the water, in the distance. So tiny on this picture. And a black bird. Not a blackbird, but a big black bird. Have no clue. 
In the front some grass…
This is apparently a wild swan. White bird, long neck, bend, to eat grass. Beak is orange and black. It is standing on the grass, near the water.
Behind the bushes, in the grass (did I say grass again?), there is a small brown dear. Cute.

I just realised this painting of mine is ten years old this year. It's one of the first I made when I was getting into digital art, in Photoshop CS2, and it was a study of my own photo taken in a zoo in Japan. I still like how I chose to do the reflections, even if I would probably do the whole painting more competently now.

A digital painting of a white swan swimming on reflective water. The bird is rendered quite faithfully, with slightly painterly brush strokes, whereas the bare tree branch reflections are stylised in flat, dark blue with smudging strokes applied to represent gentle ripples.
