Here is our pond this week:
We had an impromptu visit to the pond this week. Mum and I were driving home from our weekly shopping and we spotted a beautiful swan paddling about in the pond. She quickly drove us home where we picked up the children and cameras and whizzed back down. Swans are a rare sight in our pond and we didn’t want to miss it!
What a wonderful treat, although sad that he was on his own.
Isn’t he just gorgeous! I can’t believe the diversity you have in such a small pond
I agree. Although the different species aren’t all there at the same time, thank goodness! There would be no room!
What a treat! I have never seen a swan in the “wild” – only those placed for show or in farms. You are quite lucky to have a pond with such diversity!
I agree. The different birds seem to show up for a few days or weeks and then off they go again. Where I don’t know. We have a few good sized ponds where we live so maybe they fly from one to another?
I love swans. He reminds me of one of my favorite books, Trumpet of the Swan. I read it aloud to my class every year. We reread it here at home just a year or so ago. Glad he came to make an appearance. God’s creation is amazing!
Have a lovely week, Claire.
He was such a beauty and so friendly! I’m kind of hoping he’ll stick around for a while.
Poor guy all on his own 🙁
Swans are beautiful though.
Aren’t they just?
Oh, I love swans! I wonder why he doesn’t have a partner? I’ve never seen one by itself before.
We usually get a visit of a couple of swans around this time every year. Maybe it’s one of those but he has lost his partner?
