Description
well this is almost the end of June and this swan is still waiting for her eggs to hatch ... I assume this anyway but find it hard to believe ..I didnt see any babies around ... this is the mate of the swan that was chasing the little mandarin ducks all over the place ... the nest is across the other side of the pond so I couldnt get closer
thank you for your comments :)

Very nice photo, nice work.
Excellent composition and capture! I wish we had swans here, but the ones that stopped over this past winter are long gone...
That sure is one large nest. Beautiful wildlife capture.
What a stunning image Lu! She is probably still waiting for the babies and that could be why the mate chased the ducklings away! Excellent clarity! :)
I would guess that they will eventually hatch unless the raccoons or water snakes get the eggs. She appears to be quite comfortable in her queenly place in her lake-side apartment. :-)
beautiful scene!!!! Great photo!!!! Fantastic!!!!!!
Fantastic image thank you
Beautiful shot
beautiful capture and she is going to be so chuffed when they hatch.
Really beautiful !
Ohh!!! Wonderful capture!!!
A lovely shot, she looks so elegant and waiting in anticipation for her arrivals!
Beautiful work~
Gorgeous image!!! Very well seen and captured!
Superb :)
A beautiful photo!
Wonderful clarity in this capture! Lighting is amazing!
I just think of all the work it went into to make that glorious nest. It is quite beautiful seeing her there.
She is very patient. Hope they won't be long.
very beautiful shot ...can't wait to see the babies
No need to get closer, the swan chose a safe spot for her nest. Excellent as always.
excellent capture!
wonderful shot!!
This is just spectacular - mother nature at her best. Perfect contrast. Whole wheat bread is best for the cygnets. Toss it into the water. Never dry. Don't get to close. Either parent will attack with a vengeance. The bite is bad enough but the wings can do the most damage, especially to your forearms. Do update us as they hatch. I've seen as many as eight cygnets.

That's excellent Lu! just seem to me to be the perfect distance anyway, what a beautiful pond and I can see her lovingly building that great nest of hers! the shadow into light perfect, really good one Lu.
well lu, if you bought a 400 mm lens..you could get closer..hehehe. excellent capture!
superb photo!
Very elegant lady swan, beautiful capture!
I love all the variations of the grasses in this, in the back, in her bedding, and reflected in the water. You captured her pose perfectly, too.
Sublime!!!!!!
