Mono swan

This swans partner was sitting on the nest at Whittington castle today. There were also some coot chicks which were still in the nest with mother at present, they were just a few days old by the look of it.

I did think about the colour version in fact the willows looked so nice it was the whole reason I stopped the car. Mono however does do a remarkably good job of hiding the not so attractive floating green algae.
