The Cygnet Mute Swans on The Model Boating Lake on the New Brighton Promenade almost have all their adult plumage, just a few small patches of brown left. I'm told that their beaks get brighter red/orange as they get older.

Looks like he has been muddin' Caruso. Another great, clear capture. Swans seem to like you. Do you sing to them as you take their portrait?

Such outstanding detail! Great close up Mr. Braces. Their beaks to brighten as they get older. ..^= sandi ♪

So clear I can see the beads of water on its feathered head... Great portrait of the almost-grown-up cygnet.
