The swans at the Lough Shore in Antrim, a hopeful one in front hoping for something to eat while the seagulls circle overhead ready to swoop.( 2006 )

This was taken on the 7th December 2008 early morning with a heavy frost on the ground.
Well it's minus 9 degrees and here we are at Antrim Lough shore and as you can see it has frozen over. January 2010
These two photographs show this Swan using its body to break the ice to get to the shore. 2010
Others have been watching and are coming behind and what a mixture they are. First a Swan then two ducks and finally a Goose!
What a lot of squawking when they eventually the shore line with bemused Ducks looking on. 2010
