Simply beautiful. I have to say you are so lucky to film the nesting behaviour of the Mute Swans. We had a pair on a little lake at the Rehab Facility where we worked with Raptors. They were under our care and it took three of us to feed them because he was so protective. We had to take big push brooms and two of us would hold him back while the other quickly put food in the feeder. I am guessing your swan's quick arrival at the nest was because you were there ... because he surely was in a hurry to get there. Wonderful, wonderful, Margaret ...<br /><br />Andrea @ From The Sol Andrea @ From The Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00657271089899579261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1129438419127484980.post-91704904720399657582015-04-26T00:27:03.927+10:002015-04-26T00:27:03.927+10:00Wonderful shots.
