The very cold weather we've been experiencing here in New Brighton has proved fatal for one of the swans on The Model Boating Lake. The lake is very shallow (about knee depth) and it froze very quickly and trapped 17 swans. These were rescued by RSPCA officers and some workmen but not before one swan had died.

How sad Caruso. I imagine it was like losing a friend for many who enjoyed visiting them. You included. Gabi is correct about this making a great tribute.

That's a shame Steve. In Hamburg they take them away from the lake in winter and to another place where the water is warmer (I suppose). Beautiful close up.

If practice makes perfect and nobody is perfect, then why practice?
Cruel but reality Steve. Those things happen. Think it's easier in a city rather than in the countryside to carry them away from places with severe wint'ry conditions to more safer places.
Thanks for this great close-up.
Regards, Cornelius.

Cornelius was here either to enjoy your image or say 'thank you' for your interest in my work. Please CLICK HERE to see my journal!
That's a shame about the swan. I bet the freezing weather caused lots of problems this year, not just in the UK, but in the southern part of the US, too. Nice shot, Steve.

A beautiful tribute, and I'm so glad to hear that the rest were saved! Nature is so beautiful but can be so harsh! , ♪ ♫ :)sandi♪ =^..^=

I hate to hear about any of Gods creation's dying. The tribute is very nice Steve.

every day is a gift......that's why it's called the present!!
Swans are such beautiful birds... I'm sorry to hear one of them didn't make it... although your image, with all its detail and lighting, is a lovely and fitting tribute.

So sad to hear that the cold spell cost the park one of it's swans. They are so lovely and graceful. I am glad that the rest were rescued. Lovely photo.
