Food in the larder

This Bewick Swan is a very strict vegetation, & even refused bread from me !! The background vegetation may look pretty but it's all essential food to this bird, & other wildlife, playing an important role in natures delicate food chain. :o) The WWT goes to great efforts to cater for neglected Waterfowl etc, there's even the prickly Fullers Teasel here, much sort after by the pretty Goldfinch. :o)

I see someone named your plant Phlossie. You need to get a photo of that colorful bird as well. You swan might end up in the food chain itself. They are greasy little critters in the oven. Great shot. I think it is looking to kick some Duke of Earl tail feathers.
