Swan in foreground (Swan #1) tried to bite swan in background (Swan #2), who was none to pleased. #1 fluffed up and seemed to threaten Swan #2, who looked rather chastised in the end as it swam along peacefully next to Swan #2 until they were no longer in photographing range. It was fascinating...wish I had time to process the sequence!
Forgive me but I am an accountant so numbers catch my eye. Do you see anything wrong with this - #1 fluffed up and seemed to threaten Swan #1, Good shot
Wonderful action shot, just love the body language on the two of them. Just as well you don't speak Swan though. Swans can be quite aggressive, I wouldn't want to take one on.
Lovely action shot! Love the shapes of their bodies! I wouldn’t want to get too close to an angry swan! One came out of the water after Finlay once and gave me the fright of my life!
i think that they are both female so it must be a territorial matter. territorial as in place or probably one was flirting with the other's mate. it is fascinating to watch them, the mating, the fighting amongst themselves, and they chase dogs because they feel threatened, especially when there are young ones about. great piece of action you captured here. aces!
Great story to accompany the action shot
