    Default Swan - ning about - Cygnus olor

    I managed to slip out from work at lunchtime and grabbed a few shots down on the Kennet & Avon canal.
    There were a couple of juveniles and 4 adults, but since Swan photos all look pretty similar, I've tried to catch some close-up or angled shots. Because it was so overcast, the water had a lovely inky look (and when I say 'overcast' I also raining just as I got there )

    Lovely photos, Louise!

    I particularly like the top right one - and the one to the left of it is rather comical!
