The 2 birds arrived in fields in the afternoon of the 24th, while I was watching a raptor. Suddenly they were there. I had not seen them flying. But they didn't hang around long, the river had more to offer I guess.
Late afternoon, the light of the sun was still harsh, but the fields got that golden glow.
The 2 swans both have buff-colored feathers on their head and breasts, which I mistook for juvenile plumage at first. But young swans are grey.
Apparently the discoloring can appear when they swim in iron containing waters.
As the sun hides behind the clouds, the grey-green colors retun
Things swans do
And they fly
Found them again
It marks the beginning of winter.
It sure became cold today!
