Cygnus olor...


Another early start along the banks of the river Stour, Dorset this morning. The skies were clear at sunrise, but the wildlife was absent, apart from this nesting Mute swan. These swans build their nest from March to May, and although I saw no evidence of any eggs, I felt it wise not approach any closer than 20 feet. It is important not to stress the birds in any way, so I got my shots and quickly left.
