Swan on the River Leven at Dumbarton Bridge

Swan on the River Leven at Dumbarton Bridge
Self Challenge: Take a photo every day in June, and use a different lens each day.

20. Canon EF 75–300mm f/4.0 – f/5.6 USM III

The mute swan (Cygnus olor) is a species of swan and a member of the waterfowl family Anatidae. It is native to much of Eurosiberia, and (as a rare winter visitor) the far north of Africa. It is an introduced species in North America – home to the largest populations outside of its native range – with additional smaller introductions in Australasia and southern Africa. The name 'mute' derives from it being less vocal than other swan species. Quoted from Wikipedia

I think this swan must have known it was being photographed, Rosa, as it unfolded its wings right on cue. LOL. I am delighted you like it. Thanks for your very kind comment. Cheers, Joe

To have 30 different lenses is an achievement in it's self. I love this Swan shot, I think this one is a bit agitated, Interesting point how the "Mute swan" was so called.
Good Sunday and happy shooting for the rest of June.
