Swan

Off work today so decided to catch some rays and take a walk around the local nature reserve near to where I live. Gorgeous day, t-shirt weather for the first time this year...

Came across this swan sunning himself on the edge of the path, I don't think he minded too much that I took a couple of snaps.

Wow Andy!!! That's a stunner! What a joy it must have been to get photos so close up and have them turn out so well! Congratulations on that one! What a beauty!

amazing shot!

[Andrea Freeman]

Gorgeous! You must have gotten pretty up close and personal as your photo details say 140mm for focal length, must be a friendly swan :)

Many thanks for all your great comments guys... Andrea, I was about 5 foot away, I first thought it wasn't a real swan as he was just sitting there, and thankfully, I don't think I disturbed him too much when I snapped off a few pics... :-)
