Mute Swan **SOLD**

Although Mute swans have been introduced to

North America as park swans, our area has a

few that fly around as if wild. About

10 years ago we lived on a boat in West Bay Marina

across the harbour from Victoria. We were enjoying

a lazy afternoon on the dock when this grand

bird flew in and landed in the bay not far from the boat.

These birds are of course accustomed to being

fed by humans and so seeing us it wasn't long

till it was in camera range looking for

a possible handout.

They are incredibly beautiful birds.

Oil on board 8 x 10.
