    Large waterfowl are fun to watch land and these beautiful birds are a delight to see as they swim quietly by.

    Just as suttle as a B52 bomber but far more elegant ON the water. Well done Andrew.

    You don't want to disappoint an aggressive bird like that. Keep a loaf of bread in your camera bag at all times. Very Funny!

    Cool shot of the Mute Swan coming in for a landing Andrew! They always look so calm when they're swimming about don't they?
