Messy Eaters

Supper time on the Somerset Levels, three of a group that must have been approaching a hundred and the noise that the beaks made as they fed was amazing.

Buena luz y color. Se meterán en esa tierra mucilaginosa... ¿Para comer o por refrescarse?

The light is just gorgeous. So noisy as well as messy eaters. It must have been wonderful to see and hear them.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Jean

Many thanks Jean, I did try to record the noise but the evening breeze combined with the swans feeding just made an indecipherable din.

Beautiful bird image; doesn't look like the best place for a swim.

There must be some rich pickings amongst all that scum Roger, a nice warm glow reflecting in the birds plumage.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to HappySnapper

Indeed Maurice around 50 birds were frantically feeding in this large patch of weed which had blown down stream in the breeze and then became logged jambed by a narrow bridge.

Many thanks Doug, any walk on this part of the levels is sure to bring you close to swans.

Doesn't look very inviting, but the Swans certainly see it differently...

That must have been a sight to see (and hear) Roger................I'd love to have been there!

This is a lovely image...........the light on the swans is gorgeous and they look remarkably cleans despite the mucky water!

3 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Keith Burton ^club

Thank you Keith, normally swans are scattered around as we make our way across the levels but on this evening they were missing until we reached the North Drain and around a hundred were literally having a feeding frenzy

Jolie composition avec une agréable lumière ! Une scène particulière qui contraste avec la blancheur immaculée des cygnes qu'on à l'habitude de voir ! Bien vu, Roger !

Leon_Vienna ^club

Astonishing how these proud, white birds can do this to themselves. It is just as disturbing as the graceful storks searching the rubbish dumps for food in their Spanish winter quarters.

3 years ago.

Roger (Grisly) ^club has replied to Leon_Vienna ^club

Thank you Leon, something in the weed must have attracted them because they have come from all around the levels to feed, the area usually has only around twenty or thirty birds.
