My flight shots have improved considerably over the last couple of years but I'm still capable of coming home with loads of blurred efforts. Our visit to Welney on Saturday was no exception so I found myself particularly pleased to have got a whole run of shots more or less in focus!
Did I ever mention I love swans?????
Enjoy!
Our herring gulls are red listed birds. Think about that the next time you hear some flaming idiot calling for a cull of them.
Oh well done Clare, it's often hard to get white birds to stand out clearly never mind keeping good focus on them; this is a lovely set of pics. I was feeding a pair of (sadly not Whooper) but mute swans and their family of 4 cygnets at Budworth Mere this morning; the parents are so very protective of them even though they've grown up ! Swans have such a wonderful bond - and I love them too !!

Beautiful sequence Claire well done! I love Swans too and Whoopers are my favs.
Congrats Clare, that is indeed a lovely sequence of shots. Never would have thought they were a favourite!!
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
They are so impressive in flight, though the mutes remain the most impressive - with mutes you can actually hear the wing beats. Fantastic.
Wow Clare they are fabulous shots, no wonder you are pleased.
Lot to learn
Well done, Clare, lovely shots! Thanks for telling us because we would never have guessed that you like Swans--lol!
Kind regards, Ann
Lovely shots, Clare.
