    Wow, beautiful. I love the first one because you get to see the serrated edge of the beak - not something that you see too often.
    Actually - the tip of his beak looks like a dolphin nose

    It's so weird that you should have posted a black swan. On the walk home tonight I had my camera out to catch anything that may pass my way, and a dogwalker spoke to me, asking if I had got any decent shots. We then had a little chat about nature and he mentioned that there were Black Swans over there.

    Hi Louise.

    I think down by Caversham lock there is actually 2 pairs of black swans about.
