Winter birds 1, オオハクチョウ, Whooper Swan

I went in to check on out special guests a few time, taking the chance to watch them while they are around. These photos were taken in December 2014:


We're coming ashore!


Time for a bit of preening



The tide is coming in, our little island is getting smaller...


Showing off a wingspan  (maybe 2.4 m!)


 The situation being evaluated


What do you little guys think?


Shake out those magnificent feathers


Should move on, but the sun feels so good...
