It goes against nature when birds are reliant on humans feeding them. Would they starve to death because they don't know how to catch/forage for food ?

I’ve owned several relatively expensive cameras , but none have produced images as crisp and clear as these modern mobile phones .

This photo make me wonder why these Swans never quack.

Listening to the depressing daily news of wars and violence, it's easy to forget that we live in a beautiful world where nature's concerned. Thank you Mike for a beautiful photo that lifts the spirit.

Oh, how lovely. They are such proud and elegant birds. It looks very cold but a lovely scene.

May not be food they are interested in PeterP. They have little ones behind them. I think they are protecting them.

A lovely photo in glorious technicolour. You can tell they’re British forming a stately civil queue. What a cheerful change.

There seems a pecking order and swans are usually first or greedy geese.Can’t see any cygnets Arthur just a few mallard,coots and a gull.
