Black swans are incroyably elegant as they sail along on the water. Here at Floreat Lakes I followed mum and her four cygnets along the way where they met up with dad below. Taking his place at the head of the group they sailed majestically around the bend and out of sight..
You might have noticed that the male (cob) is slightly bigger than the female (pen) but it was the female below that at one point turned and glared menacingly at me to warn me I was getting a little too close to her bubs for her comfort.. I did back-off, have you ever been chased by an angry swan.. it's not fun :) Happy Wednesday, take care and stay safe..
They really are such beautiful birds. And very protective parents!
ReplyDelete...black and red, striking!

Beautiful shot . keep commenting on my blog because I love your comments.
ReplyDeleteYes beware of a mother swan, they can be very dangerous, but the male aswell. The family swims vrry royal in line!
ReplyDeleteNot a bird that you want to have angry at you! Great pics, Grace!
ReplyDeleteGreat shots, Grace. They are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful, I do love the balck swans. Hope all is well, sorry I am not keeping up with my blog very well!!!!!! Take care Diane
ReplyDeleteThey look so elegant and peaceful floating along. I've never had an angry swan experience and judging from the comments above, I don't want to.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous!
ReplyDeleteThis reminds me of the book The Ugly Duckling. One day they will be beautiful swans.
A nice family scene. Swans must be one of the best bluffing animals there is. People are so afraid of them, yet if you stand up to them, they back down.
ReplyDeleteTruly elegant, Grace!
ReplyDeleteAnd still a cute family also. My cousin once was chased and bitten by a white swan. Guess it hurt ;-)
Thanks for the reminder of the beauty of swans gliding along the water. Never been chased by a swan as I don't see them very often.
ReplyDeleteUm passeio em família.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

Great photos! I especially like the photos of the whole family together!
ReplyDeleteThey are gorgeous creatures. There are a pair of swans who return to our local reservoir every summer and bring up a family of little ones. Ours are white! The black swans are beautiful.
