Nearly a Swan

"All Through the Wintertime, He hid himself away..."

I took a wee trip along to the irrigation lake at Archerfield, East Lothian, this afternoon, to see what I could see.

Frankly, there wasn't much doing, or rather, I didn't have a lot of time to wait for something.

Then this juvenile swan caught my eye.

Big catch.

I don't know if it is a male or female, although I suspect it is female by the shape of the bill, but I did feel sorry for it all alone on the big lake (which is actually a pond, but I'm splitting hairs on that one!)
