    Default Mute swans: Cygnus olor. Have lift off

    I was watching these mute swans for ages today and I finallty caught them flying . They were quite a way off but I caught the lot on video taking to the air
    Here are a couple running like the clappers along the mud flaps to get going . Really funny. Look at there legs all most going in circles

    The equipment I use is a Canon 30D with Sigma 50-500mm lens. I also have a garden hide from which I take most of my pictures.
