Swans' Suppertime! HFF!

Swans' Suppertime!  HFF!
Taken on the Somerset Levels. There were around 80 swans enjoying a duckweed supper as the sun began to set. I have never seen so many swans in one place or heard them make so much noise - they were obviously enjoying the dish of the day!

Günter Klaus, Nora Caracci, , ColRam and 69 other people have particularly liked this photo

Duckweed has quite suddenly covered areas like this in the last 4 weeks. One can see that this area is prone to flooding in the winter. Nice touch of deep pink from the greater willowherb.

A very nice sunset picture, which I really like

Fantastic colours, especially in the weeds on the left side,

For sheer numbers of swans, you may like to visit abbotsbury-tourism.co.uk/swannery

A wonderful scene and a great collection of fences, they seem to congregate if they know people will feed them but that is usually in towns, I hope you are having a HFF Carol and that your weekend is a pleasant one

Terrific photograph Carole one I would not mind putting in a frame. They look like Mute Swans (So named because their calls are quiet silent and do not carry). If their beaks are more yellow than orange then they would be Whooper swans and can make a bit of a racket.
