I have never seen a swan nest or a swan siting on the eggs. Do swan mate for life? I guess he will have more mouths to feed. Or is there some hanky pinky going on?

Comment from PeglegDeb
lol...just love your titles sg. I always imagine little balloons above their heads w/ your words inside. Perhaps this female has someone else on the side....lol

So...Black Swans. Boy are they pretty. Your focus...especially on the male is excellent. Nicely exposed w/ all those black feathers. Was this at your zoo? I see the male is banded. Do black and white Swans interact??

these Australian swans have been introduced on a lake near my home, about 1year ago; they are now "wild", flying from a lake to another one;

Comment from michiganmike
It seems a bit out of season for swans to be nesting at this time of year. The birds are interacting nicely and they are each shown in without any overlap. Great colors and fine setting.

An interesting photograph. The story is cool. Focus on the pair is good. Expression ( especially of the male) is well captured as if he is questioning his partner's act.

Well done and thanks for sharing.
