@tyan: They have a yearly clean up Tyan, but as you can see it's not enough. The birds don't seem to mind though, but this is a real eye opener and it shows that there are people out there who dump their rubbish anywhere. :-(

Unfortunate, indeed...but a good capture, nonetheless, because it tells a story and an unedited representation of reality.
p.s. thanks for the welcome back message, Vanessa1

@{H} creatives: Yes this is reality H and its such a shame, it doesn't take long to pop rubbish into a bag and take it home does it.
And your welcome :-)

Such beautiful birds, it is really unfortunate that people ruin their habitat. Your photo has captured the beauty of nature, spoiled by the carelessness of man. Nicely done!

Nice capture; these cute little "ugly ducklings" will grow up to be beauties like their watchful mother the swan.

brilliant capture, Vanessa! i love this photo... these coots & their chicks are so beautiful...and look at that graceful swan! really such a shame that people don't give a **** about their surroundings....

@Rebecca: Yes Rebecca and it makes you wonder what these peoples home look like, if they throw rubbish into a lake they must do the same at home and throw rubbish on their floor
@Saed: Thank you Saed

I love Coots and Swans, they are lovely birds. and you've captured these beautifully Vanessa :)
I hate litterlouts, I always put my rubbish in my bag or pocket if there is no bin about! Some people have no respect for anything these days.
