The grey object you see sticking out is his leg! He has folded it right back under the wing - at least that is what it looks like. I hope the keeper has seen it in the meantime.

Richie's comment very interesting. Learn something new every day. Interesting reflections in the water.

Surely they swim in circles when they do this Raj. I like the sheen on the water and the clarity of the swan.

You got some cool looking reflections in that water, Raj. Birds do some strange looking things some times. Some even sleep on one leg. Great shot.

Looks like he's fine and just warming up his one foot. Great timing and really like the action of the water

The swan still looks regal despite its strange pose. Lovely reflections in this :)

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . .

Poor bird, I hope the keeper notices it and nourishes its leg. A good shot Raj, I love the ripples in the lake and the details on the bird
