    1. Joo, vähän turhan toiveikkaana tämä lintu oli tähän heittäytynyt...

  3. this is a fantastic shot, Sirpa! the swan looks beautiful on the clear ice - it almost seems like it's floating on the water at first glance!

    1. Yes, and it makes me wonder whether the swan had thought that it could end up floating when it landed there!

  5. Yes, probably she doesn't remember where she came from and she tries to check that! :D

    1. I live in Finnish archipelago and have the possibility to see them quite often. And Whooper Swan is actually the national bird of Finland. This one again, I think, is a Mute Swan. And this we happened to meet in Gdansk, Poland, where we spent the weekend.

  7. I hope it's not stuck in the ice? Swans are beautiful creatures!

    1. That was the first thought in my mind also when I saw it! But I looked at it quite a long time and I think everything was ok with it.
