Lot's of bad tempered posting going on today so here's a pic I took last week at Waterhead. To calm you all down.

What! A BLACK swan!

I prefer my swans white. Harumph etc.

 

[Vagabond]

Just getting a little tired of MOBO bashing ....

 

[jimi]

you bad bad man .. pinting a duck black, streching its neck and shoving it leg out its arse just to get THAT photo .. you ought to be spanked!

 

[Lakesailor]

Not Bad Tempered Enough

However, for those who like it traditional

 

[Vagabond]

Good point .... what a state the poor thing must be in.

How did you do that with his leg?!

Yeh OK but is he at anchor or motorsailing?

 

[Lakesailor]

That'll teach it to try and be stand-on when I'm about.

 

[fireball]

Well - I assumed he was towing - the foot is roughly diamond shape ...
can't see the tow line, but it should be over 200m long!

Of course, swans may have entirely different Col Regs.
That signal may mean "bread on starboard bow, I have priority"

Racing colregs

Shouldn't be a problem as they can't fill out a protest form!

Why is his keel flapping in the air?

 

[Lakesailor]

It's a rare Bavarian Black Swan.

Was it you that wrapped the selotape round his beak?

 

[Lakesailor]

Do you think I'm quackers?
