And what a big nest. With many other birds it is the opposite - among the blackbirds the mail has to collect twigs and build and if the female doesn't like it she gets a fit and destroys it :) Seems almost human .

Seems that they are building a storey house. Perhaps that they are progressive swans, lol.

Good capture, Richie!

It's good to see the Swans building a nest, and boy is it big. I know several pairs of Swans myself, and expect to hear the flap of tiny flippers real soon. (o:

Thanks for sharing this lovely photograph with us.

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. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

Richie - I suspect a negative EV to get these colors so crisp, including well-controlled white on the mute swans. Well done! Thad
