Swan on Boating lake

Helston boating lake can be found on the Porthleven road out of Helston. Ducks, Swans and Gulls enjoy the area, with children feeding them and playing in the park area . There is also a very popular skate park located here.

The Swans have been breeding on the lake for many years, often rearing 4- 5 cygnets a season. They do become very aggressive during the breeding season – attacking other water fowl. However, they are as we all know very graceful.

As the swans are used to being fed, they are happy to pose for a quick photograph. This head shot of a Swan was captured with the help of my children feeding them some corn. The Swan seemed to rise to the occasion and allow me to get this portrait photograph.
