Swans are always seems at poetry like pure innocent creatures . Even sometimes reality can be different. But your picture here is more lyrical and moving. I can see how little child come with a bread to feed them. Cause that was my favorite part of Sunday like a child i always like to feed them they make so beautiful positions when they reach climax of their voices .

They are graceful and regal in appearance but they can also be dangerous. If you get too near their cygnets, you'll know it. All kids like feeding the swans and ducks. Big kids too. Thank you Martin.

Like all animals they should be treated with respect. Sometimes humans are stacked cause they don't respect privacy of animal. Which bird actually scary me more like child was goose . Their whistling sounds before they attack is very scary and when they do attack you can feel it pain for very long time.

[Chris Shaw]

I'm sure that must have been unpleasant. When you see the wing span of a swan hurtling towards you, hissing, it is terrifying.

Seeing something so lovely would uplift my day immediately.

I love the way wild animals figure out ways to summon humans into a routine that may include food. I love the way you paint this brief scene so vividly, I can almost hear it (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

[Chris Shaw]

It's lovely how they wake us up. Such a gentle, polite tapping :) Thank you Margie.

Swans tapping the hull for their breakfast....a delightful image. It's always lovely to get up close with our natural world. Swans are such graceful creatures.

Like anyone else, they love a good breakfast! Hunger and food drive nature.

Thank you Jacob. The whistle they make is so distinct, you know they are there even before their beaks start tapping on the hill. Beautiful moments.
