Derwentwater, The Lake District.

Mute Swan  (Cygnus Olor)  this is a male or Cob, A pair have a nest at the south end of Derwentwater , and there is possibly a second pair at the Northern end where they have nested before. Also there are quiet a few of last years young on the lake.

Stay away from the wife and kids , or else !!

While wandering by the lake I found this beautiful patch of Wood Anemone

    The swan is majestic indeed. We have a large poulation here in Southern Ontario where it is not a native species. Some people advocate for its removal but I hope that never happens.

      That would indeed be a sad day if a removal of some discription took place.
      Thank you for dropping by. Gordon.
