Birds, ships and mirages in Øresund

On my afternoon walk this afternoon, I noticed that mirage effects were quite visible. Even if it was quite cold, sea birds appeared to enjoy the sunny day.

Here are a few of the pictures I shot:

On this picture you can see a minor mirage effect when you look at the cargo ship. 
These mallards looked quite nice., when they were swimming towards the point where I was standing.
A busy afternoon in Øresund ...
Here again, you can see the mirage effect quite well.
This formation of swans was another beautiful sight this afternoon. In the background you can see the northern part of Danish Zealand "hovering" in the air due to the mirage effect. 
The shape of Nissan's futuristic car carrier City of St. Petersburg  looks quite interesting, due to the mirage effect.
About ten minutes earlier, the City of St. Petersburg could be seen "hovering in the air" when it approached Helsingborg.

PS

Just for comparison, here is another shot of the swan "formation":
