Today I was working near Engreux right along the Ourthe River. I heard this incredible hissing noise that at first I thought was giant snake at my feet! Then from out of the reeds just in front of me came a more familiar honk and what emerged was a Cygnus altratus or Black Swan. Its size was amazing with it head stretched out easily on level with my own and when it spread its wings at me I was nearly bowled over. I crouched down fairly well stunned by surprise and watched this beautiful bird as it waddled into the river, hissing all the while, and swam away. I did have my phone to take a quick pic but my hands were shaking so badly that I fumbled it into the reeds as a grabbed it and it took me some time to recover it. I have never seen anything similar in this area and am still well amazed!
