Angry Mute Swan-Cygnus olor

Uploaded: March 12, 2007

Description

Hi Guys,

The Mute Swans in my nature reserve are getting ready to mate again and they are becoming more and more defensive about their territory.
So when a couple of other swans invaded their space the local couple became very angry wich gave me a nice opportunity to shoot some images.

Greetings,

Jeroen Stel
