This aggressive male mute swan had just chased off a pair of swans that I was photographing from his side of the estuary (with lots of noise and commotion that was not at all “mute”). He then turned his attention to me. 😳

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Heron — so here’s my take!
Now, can you spot the Grey Heron? 🤣🪶
朝日なんですが金曜ロードショーの初代オープニングを連想してしまいますね（年齢）😅
