    Wink Mute Swan (or most of it!)

    Why is it that when you see a good photo opportunity, a post is in the way on one side, and another bird's posterior gets in the way on the other?

    I still liked the effect of the light, shining through those feathers though!

    Oh, I DO like that idea, Beryl!

    Wish I had the expertise!

    (It was taken at Christchuch Quay where there are LOTS of Mute Swans, all ringed. There are many different water birds there, and it's such a picturesque place too)

    That is WONDERFUL, Beryl!

    I'm sure the Swan would be happy to see it too!

    How did you DO that?
