Here's a cropped close up of a Bewick Swan, their so gentle, and good natured compared to their cousins the Mute Swan.

In case you don't know the image title refers to a classic music track, you can enjoy the original song by Procol Harum, or listen to a cover version by the very talented Annie Lennox.

Remember music is food for the soul folks so let me know which version you prefer. (o:

A nice and clear close-up of the swan Phil. He/she does look very gentle.

The detail is exceptional in this shot. The silvery rippled water in the background is the perfect contrast for this elegant bird. Again exceptional!

edited back in to say I like the original Procol Harum version of the song the best.
