When Peter turned up withthese I was stunned by the size and thickness of the Swans foot, and then I noticed the claw.. never realised they had them.

A beautiful set of photos of a beautiful bird, Peter.

The claws are news to me too, so I appreciate the education. Recently, a friend and I watched a mallard land in a tree on a large horizontal limb. We were both surprised and asked almost simultaneously, "do they have claws on those webbed feet?"

Beautiful collection. Never been able to photograph a swan's claw before so that's great for me to see. It's huge!
