    Default Mute Swans

    I spotted them flying across the sky when they suddenly changed directions and came straight towards me. This time I remembered to adjust my lens and caught them all the way down the landing was just too close as one came in faster and went off the screen, you can see it's turbulence as it screamed in so only caught one

    Thanks Rolf
    I left them as full frames because I thought the scenery was needed to show the event

    There are a lot more as I was firing in rapid succession but they are so similar I chose the in between ones

    (except for the first one or you wouldn't be able to see them)

    A good illustrated event showing the Swans coming in to land Beryl.

    A question of 'The Swans have landed' not 'The Eagle has landed'......wasn't that a film?
