Hands up if you're going to a party tonight? Yes? Maybe just a wee celebration to see in the 2013?
I found this great image of wintery Bewick's swans on RSPB Images. It's a family gathering that certainly looks like they're celebrating something! And as with all family celebrations, the youngster is looking decidedly embarrassed whilst his or her older relatives partake in a little singsong! Sound familiar?
Thanks for your support over the past year, and here's to 2013. May it be filled with wonderful wildlife.
Happy New Year!
