    Default Mute Swans - Cygnus olor

    These two mute swans took off from the marshland then decided to fly back again. The spend most of the time in a flooded field at Darts Farm near by. The field was more like an enormous lake last month and is still partly flooded

    Can you spot the odd one out here?

    I think he's saying. 'Sh.......t!' - or something similar!

    (Not trying to hijack your thread, Beryl. Just thought if you compared this shot with yours, you'd see how well you actually did!)

    Thanks Catherine
    I heard them coming, the whipping sound of the wings is a real give-away. one of themis ringed but you can only see the ring on him in the non flight bird thread

    Lol. Great shot. I think the swan in you photo could be dipping to avoid the cable
