Swan Swimming on the Water
The bird moves across the water with its full feathered body resting at the surface. Its extended neck bends upward toward a raised head, where the eye and bill are visible. Gentle ripples surround the swan, while the area above the water contains no plants, shoreline, or other animals.
Facts about a swimming swan
A swan’s broad webbed feet work like paddles beneath the surface, pushing water backward as the bird moves forward. Its neck allows it to reach aquatic vegetation below the water without diving with its entire body. The visible calm above the surface can hide steady foot movements underneath.
