The "Squatter"

Has taken up residence in a coots nest ..Cool and sheltered ,
I'd had a bird mail ( no not a tweet ) to ask would I take some photos .I got there a little late but was greeted in a dignified fashion .The extras show a close up and feathers preened to perfection .My fee was a lesson in how it's all managed :) 

news ) Swans are still one very big happy family .
