Amsterdam, Netherlands
A day of nothing much in particular. Even though most ice on the canals has disappeared there are still some patches of ice left, and funnily enough are water birds quite fond of holding on to them as long as possible. The swans in the canal in front of the house were resting on some of the ice. You’d think they would prefer the relatively warmer water as opposed to the icy ice to keep their feet warm, but no, they were even fighting to be able to remain on the ice, chasing away ducks, coots and gulls alike. The picture is of a resting swan on the ice, as seen from above.
