Feathered Friday...A Busy Swan And Some Ducks

mers (66)in #featheredfriday • 5 years ago (edited)

Hello Dear Steemians and Nature Lovers From Around The Globe!

It´s time for the Feathered Friday initiated by @keithboone.. you could join us and have some fun featuring your images as your challenge. Today, I am sharing with you my images taken at Wasserpark in Vienna the other day. When I visited the park, I was concentrated on the lovely landscape of the different areas of the pond. In wintertime, as in the two images below, all birds gathered here and join the ducks and the swans. There is an artificial island in the middle of the pond where they can have shelters when they feel cold.

These two images which were taken last winter, I have noticed and saw then that there were more birds in winter than nowadays in Spring. The birds are flying here, there and everywhere perhaps looking for food. During the wintertime, the city administration allows the park visitors to feed the birds. But if I am not mistaken, the prohibition starts in March til October of each year.

This was the only swan I saw swimming so cool and sometimes it would dip its head to be able to get something to eat(?). Well, I am not sure of that.

The other ducks I saw always went in pairs ... I had been wondering whether the water is not too cold for them.

I have enjoyed watching them when taking these photos and I said to myself what a wonderful world they are in. And so dear Steemians, these are my bird images.Hope you like them all. Images were taken with Canon IXUS 185, Samsung Galaxy J3 + J5

Happy Weekend!

There is nothing required of you. Just go to @ abh12345 Engagement Post from last Sunday and in the comments request 'add me please'. That's all you will ever have to do. Each Sunday, if you check the post you can see how many comments you made during the week. That's it!
