🦢 Mute swan preening its feathers 🇩🇪
📝 To get this shot, I kept creeping closer little by little, taking 3–4 photos before starting over from the beginning. The swan was so engrossed that it didn’t notice me. This isn’t a cropped photo. In the end, I crept back out again.
ℹ️ The mute swan (Cygnus olor) grows up to 1.6 meters long and can have a wingspan of up to 2.4 meters. They feed mainly on aquatic plants and small animals, such as mussels.

🦢 Höckerschwan putzt sich raus 🇩🇪
📝 Für dieses Foto habe ich mich immer wieder einen Schritt herangepirscht, 3-4 Fotos gemacht und von vorne. Der Schwan war so sehr mit sich beschäftigt, dass er mich nicht gemerkt hat. Das ist kein Crop. Am Ende wieder zurück gepirscht.
ℹ️ Der Höckerschwan (Cygnus olor) wird bis zu 1,60 Meter lang und erreicht dabei eine Spannweite von bis zu 2,40 Meter. Er ernährt sich vor allem von Pflanzen, die im Wasser leben, und kleinen Tieren, wie Muscheln. Markant ist der Höcker über dem Schnabel, woher der Schwan seinen Namen hat.

It is #TwoDuckTuesday, but these are #Swans - a swan is #NotADuck

The #SundaySwan seems to be trying to creep up on these fine ducks.

The Saturday swan is sad because it can’t find its duck. True story.

It is #FourDuckFriday, I think - the days are getting hard to track. So, pick your four ducks from this selection and they are the #DuckOfTheDay. Mind the geese and swans though as they are #NotADuck.

#FourDuckFriday accepts the allegiance of this understandably overawed swan.
