Swan

It is a black swan but it looks brown in the strong sunshine.  This morning the tide was in and the swans and ducks were closer into shore.  They are still too far away for my 200mm but I enjoyed having a go.  I found their black feathers tricky in the bright sunshine.  This one swam over to where a stream enters the estuary and it was feeding on weed.  That was closer for me.  I said good morning to all the bikers enjoying the sunshine.   This might be my swan song for lyrics: 

12 Days Of Christmas  


. . . On the seventh day of Christmas
My true love sent to me 
seven one swan a swimming . . .
