a swan story
I went down to Heritage Park at lunch today, as usual, and noticed that the swans were nesting.
I decided to get a bit closer to see if I could get a good photo.Then the male swan started looking like he was going to charge me (and who could blame him? I could be raiding the nest for all he knows).
I must say that his display was quite impressive and would be intimidating to a potential predator. But then, he took a sharp right,
and stalked off toward the water, swimming off in a huff.
Which left his mate, busily building her nest, vulnerable to my viscious camera attack:
It was all very amusing. That male swan is the prissiest bird I've ever met. *g*
