Critique Early Morning Gentlemen's Grooming!

Kodiak Qc · 2 Oct 2015

My attention was zoomed to a part of the marsh where six adult swans were
demonstrating their irritation to the presence of this cool individual busy doing
his morning grooming. Circling the intruder, agitating their wings, creating a
commotion of it all, the swans had to accept the situation and retreated to take
care of breakfast I presumed.

Excellent image, well captured and a great narrative, I've missed your images and contribution over at another forum

Over other means of communication I was suggested…
1, a beaver… — no, cause it has a rat tail
2, a muskrat… — no, cause the muskrat has a rat face and here I see almost a beaver face.

Any more?

Bill, don't stay in France too long… you're getting bad ideas!

Bien sûr, le nom de "ragondin" je connaissais… mais je ne l'avais jamais rencontré en personne avant! Merci bien et salut chez-vous.
