Bird Reflections by

This Black Swan cygnet has just discovered his own reflection in the water.

Mum’s reflection is also there, not too far away, looking on as another lesson is learnt…

The Black Swan (Cygnus atratus) is a large waterbird which lives in Australia.

Captured during Spring in Centennial Park, Sydney. Australia.

Canon 400D, as is.

About Michael John

I live in Australia and enjoy bushwalking in the great outdoors, especially the world heritage listed Blue Mountains National Park.

My photographic interests are pretty much related to Australian landscapes, rustic Australia, historic Australia, Australian wildlife, flora, fauna, birds, etc. Guess I love the country I was born and live in.

Feel free to click on my portfolio, view more images, and leave a comment. You can also purchase a card, print, or calendar.
