Two species of bird that would be much admired if they were just a little less common. There's nothing more graceful than a swan on water and very little more effortless than a gull riding the breeze.
Hello, the swans are a beautiful sight. Lovely captures. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Happy Saturday, enjoy your weekend. PS, thanks for leaving me a comment.
I am surprised to see swans swimming in sea water. I'd expected them to be on rivers and lakes. Is their satellite navigation system not working properly?
Thanks to Google I found out that just above the eyes and under the skin, swans have a gland that enables them to drink saltwater. This gland removes salt from their bloodstream and concentrates it into a solution that is excreted from their nostrils, which the swan can shake its head to clear.
How amazing to see the swans out like that. I we don't see them in the wild very often here. Enjoy your week ahead! Keep that camera handy! You take amazing photos!
Very nice pictures. I especially love the swans.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the weekend.

ReplyDeleteSwans in salt water, a first for me.
