From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Mute Swan is found naturally mainly in temperate areas of Europe across western Asia, as far east as the Russian maritimes, near Sidemi. Gmelin (1789) and John Latham (1824) reported Mute Swans present in Kamchatka in the 1700s. It is partially migratory throughout northern latitudes in Europe and Asia, as far south as north Africa and the Mediterranean. It is known and recorded to have nested in Iceland and is a vagrant to that area, as well as to Bermuda, according to the U.N. Environmental Programme chart of international status chart of bird species, which places it in 70 countries, breeding in 49 countries, and vagrant in 16 countries. While most of the current population in Japan is introduced, Mute Swans are depicted on scrolls more than a thousand years old, and wild birds from the mainland Asian population still occur rarely in winter. Natural migrants to Japan usually occur along with Whooper and sometimes Bewick's Swans. The Mute Swan is protected in most of its range, but this has not prevented illegal hunting and poaching. It is often kept in captivity outside its natural range, as a decoration for parks and ponds, and escapes have happened. The descendants of such birds have become naturalised in the eastern United States and Great Lakes, much as the Canada Goose has done in Europe.

Debe de ser todo un espectáculo el poder observar a esta gran ave en vuelo, cosa que creo no es muy habitual. Buena e interesante captura Stavarache:

Salut Florin,
frumoasa si aceasta captura a ta. Se pare ca iti plac pasarile in mod deosebit. Si mie imi palc dar pentru fotografii ... sunt cam greu de surprins. Dar incerc si eu sa le surprind cit mai bine. Ince,incet o sa vedem toata colectia ta de pasari. Noi suntem aici sa vedem si sa comentam.
Eu unul sincer prefer peisajele, dar daca se ivesc si animale sau flori, normal ca incerc sa fac poze cit mai reusite. Pe TN membrii sunt destul, sa nu zic foarte pretentiosi.
Dar este foarte bine asa poti sa te corectezi mai repede sa vezi ce nu merge si eventual de ce nu este ok parerea ta cu a ... majoritatii.
Un singur lucru, sa nu incerci sa-i multumesti pe toti ca nu o sa reusesti.
iti doresc o duminica placuta,
Adrian

Florin
Imi place captura ta ...culoare placuta, detalii clare si un cer de nota 10.
Din pacate, eu pot sa dau doar doua puncte.
Cu prietenie, Horia
