Mexican Whooping Swans and A Girt Basket

Stopped in the floods today to photograph a giant basket. Caught these Whooper Swans in the pic.

Seen them before, but today was the first time i'd heard them & def the first time i've got a pic

 

Some other shots of the floods,

Blimey Zigs, is it ever going to let up down there? You'll develop webbed feet!

Love the swans.

 

Its got worse again, driving back today I came across a new humpbacked bridge, they have installed 2 girt pipes to pump the water out and just made a huge mound on the road to drive over them

 

Lets hope we get a decent spring/summer to dry it out. The farmers are certainly going to have their work cut out when it does.
