Hello, Debbie

What a lovely sighting, to see so many swans together. Your photos are beautiful, I love the closeups, they look like they are posing for you.
Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Take care, have a happy weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.

I have never seen so many swans in one place. I have noticed the Robins gathering this week to get ready to fly south but I never thought of swans.

Debbie - sleek and sassy swans! Love your captions!

I love watching them stretch, there are times when the lake near us has so many it is hard to watch them all. I can't get over how many feathers they loose, I thought my cats were bad with the shedding :)

Hello Debbie, :=) Brilliant close captures of the beautiful Mute Swans.They seem to be moulting, but I only say this because I see feathers on the ground, as it doesn't affect their appearance. That first shot of the 30 swans in the distance is lovely.
All the best.

All the best.
