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.
