Wow Lovely
What colour is he ?
And I have heard that some swans start out darker(Even black) and then become white later in life.
Is that true?

He is grey with some white - normal for a mute swan cygnet. Some swans are all black but we don't have that type here.
Thanks

How beautiful he is... I love how the color change highlights the feathers in his wings. The posture is perfectly captured (I know how quickly they move). Perfect timing!
