Wandsworth Common: Peaceful Preening

Feel the feathers in large.

I watched this swan preening for ages... His partner and cygnet/juvenile were pottering around on the lake, but he just preened and preened.
He ignored me, so I just crept about exploring the angles, and enjoyed a peaceful spell with him... 

My others (a case study...?) are on Flickr here (or right from here).
