Oh awesome shot! Do you have to spend a lot of time just being still around them? Would the swan have hurt the babies?

Great shot! That must have been quite something to watch - you've really caught the drama here.

@riverlandphotos .I love just watching them with my camera at the ready,and they don't seem to mind me being close to them,probably because they're used to people feeding them,they don't feel any threat.I don't think the swan would hurt the goslings,they just like to have a go at the geese.It's quite strange,they don't seem to bother the mallards,they just ignore them.
