Sorry about the quality - it's a small part of the photo - when processing, noticed the orange on his head. http://www.wildaboutbritain.co.uk/ga...age-11197.html |

Maybe it picked it up a landfill! Could also be that oxide stuff you sometimes get seeping into water courses. |

I've seen similar staining on swans as well, never worked out what causes it. Maybe it's just a heavy smoker? |
