The swan can't seem to tear its eyes away from its reflection on the lake in Glastonbury, SomersetMirror mirror on the lake, who's a particularly fine-looking bird?
That would be this beautiful swan, who appeared to be gazing at its snowy white reflection captured in the calm waters.
Gliding down a perfectly still body of water in Somerset, it poses for a dramatic portrait that doubly shows off its magnificent white feathers.
In stark contrast to the dark background of the shaded water around it, this photograph was taken on a man made body of water known in Somerset as a 'rhyne'.
Traditionally used to turn areas of wetland into useful pasture, this example in Shapwick Heath nature reserve near Glastonbury, provides a perfectly calm mirror for the graceful swan on a Spring morning.
Photographer Fran Stothard, 57, said: 'I was lucky with the woodland shading the water behind the swan which made a very dark background.
'I don't usually take photographs of swans because there are so many of them, but this one really stood out.'
