Victor Rangel-Ribeiro, When the question is swans, it is always a mute one. The reason being that the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland owns all of those. When I first saw JoeUKGoa's pictures, I thought I had better keep mute as to the missing swans as I was taught at an early age that it was treason to dispatch any of the Queens swans and the crime punishable by death. Here in Toronto, swans are considered a pest and the wildlife authorities oil their eggs so that they do not hatch and increase in population. I fully expected people in India to have a more gastronomical method of looking after the Queens property and hence, the explanation in the lack of swan's in JoegoaUK's pictures. If this above all reads as non-sense, here a link: http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Does_the_Queen_of_England_own_all_the_swans As far as JoeGoaUK is concerned, I too am a fan of all his pictures. I appreciate what he provides here. And that too for free. Mervyn1532Lobo
