Mute Swan / Hoeckerschwan / Cygnus olor

It's an adult "polish swan"of the immutabilis morph, only to ID if one gets a good look on the feet like here. / Er ist ein ausgewachsener Polnischer Schwan, also die Variante immutabilis, was man nur erkennen kann, wenn er die Fuesse draussen hat.

Wahrscheinlich ist es nur eine weiss angestrichene Schwimmboje zur Täuschung schlauer Biologielehrerinnen.

Ne, genau das unschuldig guckende Tier vom vorigen Bild. Der wird vermutlich inzwischen ganz weisse Schwaenchen bekommen haben und sie dann zu frueh verstossen, weil sie nicht grau genug sind. Das ist so traurig. :o(

Fizzgig, I think they got a rather cute bum. At least my own one looks less pretty....
