The look of love

Dusty Springfield - The Look of Love 1967

It is fairly easy to distinguish the male swan or COB from the female swan the PEN. The large black fleshy lump at the base of the bill is much larger and more pronounced on the male, this can be called the "berry". The male's tail is also wider and more fanned out, whereas the Pen's comes to a single point. This difference is not so obvious in this photo.

Swans tend to remain monogamous throughout their lifetimes, so maybe it is. ;-)

What a gorgeous shot Amelia. Great music link. I saw Dusty when she was with The Springfields. My parents took us when we were on holiday in Weymouth. I must only have been 12 years old. I remember it well though.

the look... can also suggest some haughtiness of the male...
extraordinary tones and light, Amelia!

Amelia replied to J.Garcia:

Yes you're right. The cob does look a bit superior and the pen is almost submissive.
