During a bike ride, I saw this family of swan. The father swan is protecting his wife and children, who are busy cleaning themselves. The mother sets a good example, and the children follow closely. #swan #nature #naturephotography #photography #waterbirds #swans #thenetherlands #nederland #bird #birds #birdPhotography #birdsOfMastodon

My chums, the Union Canal swans on a rather dreich evening yesterday.
I do wish they wouldn't choose the towpath to settle down for preening & naps, I worry some cyclist charging by too fast on an e-bike will hit one (most are careful but there are some zipping along at very high speed with zero concern for pedestrians, other bikes or wildlife).

Look at this beautiful scene I witnessed on my bike ride! #nature #naturephotography #swans
Not the best photo, but here's a shot of a ground floor window at the Bishops Palace in Wells, Somerset.
The waterfowl can pull a rope which rings a bell, and one of the staff can feed them. It's called the Swan Bell.
(Obviously, the string only hangs out for a few minutes around midday to prevent bird bloat.)
They don't even ask if the water level issue could have contributed - first story in the 'related stories' list.
The lake had been all but drained for two of our driest weeks this summer.
Swans need water, right?
CBCIconic Stratford, Ont., swans go rogue from Avon River prompting city-wide search | CBC NewsThe City of Stratford is asking residents for help finding five of six swans that went missing from the Avon River. Crews and residents first noticed the swans were gone last week.
I took some photos this week.
Here are 4 of them (of over 1000). It might take me some time to sort through them all.
All photos taken in Kent, UK.
Can anyone help me identify the butterfly?
Sitting by the river in agony, my leg going into spasm with full body tremors, but a moment of absolute joy. A few months ago, sitting at the same spot, I spotted a Swan with tiny grey splodges of cygnets, and today, I see them again...oh how they have grown 
now back to the pain and waiting out time until the bus!

Dinner by the canal in Utrecht, as the swans, ducks, and boats float by.

The #bird was wandering in live traffic in the middle of #Colchester (a busy town with a lot of traffic) so was relocated to a safer area..

Swans – Birthing [2025], una breve recensione
A più di cinque mesi dall’ascolto del primo estratto e a poco più di due dall’uscita dell’album ho trovato il fegato per mettermi ad ascoltare queste due ore di musica, e sono felice di poterlo confermare: discone, cioè, fico, nettamente superiore alle due precedenti prove in studio, siamo tornati ai gloriosi fasti di dieci anni fa, periodo The Glowing Man (di cui ricordo più che altro che era molto bello; dovrò tornarci), con qualche piacevole variazione dei toni a rendere più interessante l’ascolto. Quello che non posso confermare è che il disco sia meno cupo o che sia addirittura colorato e gioioso. Ci sono sì atmosfere più sognanti (soprattutto su I Am a Tower e (Rope) Away), ma è per lo più un incubo di quelli brutti, nella più pura tradizione Swans, con testi che sembrano insensati e che quando si capiscono ti spezzano le gambe. Avrebbe beneficiato di qualche taglio, il grande disco, di qualcuno che dicesse «qui stai sgravando amico», perché l’ispirazione non è più quella che ha partorito The Seer e due ore (un’ora e cinquantacinque minuti, ok) si fanno sentire, ma non starei troppo a sindacare, invecchiare a questo modo non è da tutti e ad avercene di geniacci sregolati di codesta pasta. Boh, 8 molto abbondante direi, col sorriso.
