In the wild up to 20 years and on protection up to 40 years ... These are protected within the forest area same swans year after year 😍

Long ago there was a swan pair in one of the local parks, until sadly vandals killed the pen as she sat on her nest. The male bird was bereft. A year or two later the authorities found him a new young mate. He would not have her- just chased her off his pond. Eventually the authorities took him off to another park, which had a big lake, and found a new mate for the young bird. The male remained a lonely widower for the rest of his days.

I'm glad your swans are able to live their own happy lives without interference from horrible humans. xxx

Beautiful photo. Swans are amazing to see out of the water like that. Is she protecting her brood? Probably wrong time of year for babies but it looks (to me) like she's warning you not to come any closer. xxx

She was doing a wing flap nothing more ...Her cygnets who hatched in April are fully fending for themselves now ...So she was stretching... My position was over 40 foot away and my camera had the long lens on it ...I would never get so close as what you think .. these swans are protected to the pond and as a local it would be beyond me to get so close πŸ™‚

I remember my brother was trying to tame a horse in the next field he managed over months to ride it one day the horse just buckled and all we saw was him holding on for dear life as the horse was racing away πŸ˜‚I’m sure he thought h was John Wayne πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ we did laugh about it after even though he broke several ribs and a clip around the ear from mum for trying to ride it to soon in the first place xπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
