Bewick and Mute swans in a flap

The sun was shining during my last walk around Barnes Wetland Centre and the two Bewick swans that live there were taking advantage of a nice day for a bath. 

Things were very calm in this photograph of both swans floating around in the pond.

In this close-up of one of the Bewick swans, water droplets thrown up by flapping wings can be seen.

They started having a lot of fun splashing around in the pond with their large wings extended and making a lot of noise.


In another part of the wetlands, the Wild Side, a young mute swan cygnet was having a calm time floating around in the water.

Then it too decided to open it's wings and have a good old flap.
