Why regal? Nigel reminded me that all (or nearly all) swans in Britain are the property of The Queen. So, this is a regal beauty swimming on The Model Boating Lake at New Brighton.
It I knew how to spell "La Ti Da" I would say that, but since I don't I want to see a photo of the Queen feeding her flock. lol Another good post evetS. It does look Regal and Sir Nigel should know.
So now the Queen hoards all the swans? Sheesh. Next thing ya know, she'll want all the all the animals in the land. LOL. Great close up of the swan, Steve. Well done.
LOL Steve - yes, they are; although I can never remember if it's just the swans on rivers that are hers. I think it comes from the fact that the royals liked eating them so much in times gone by. Looks like you took your life in your hands getting up close with this one!!
what a beautiful picture
