'Just checking!' (Cygnus atratus)

After getting the Egret I moved on to the next stop, where anything and everything congregates! I was walking along the edge of the water looking for the Pink-eared Ducks when this Black Swan decided to take a look at me, this is a full frame, no cropping! He came out of the water so I had to back off a little!...he preened himself and then went off again not without telling a young Swan that had come in on the other side of me, to get lost! I, in the meantime took a few photos of the birds on the island keeping one eye on this one! Hope you enjoy!
