Kung Fu Swan (a.k.a. "Enter The Bewick") (Cygnus columbianus)

Yep... latin name "Jackiechannus Bruceleelius"...

Okay... just a bit of nonsense from me, but I love this 'Martial Arts' pose.

Shortly after taking this shot, the swan went to sleep - still in that position!

:king: Glad you like, Marian.

Pity I couldn't have done a full 360 degree rotate effect like in 'The Matrix' with that shot - would've been great!

The next film this critter's making is with Jean-Claude Van Goose and will be called "Crouching Bewick, Hidden Greylag"

Oh good grief - they're getting worse now!

:king:

lol Bart - I survived luckily... I don't know if you've ever heard this, but a silly British thing where one can hear someone say "A swan can break your arm" - based on what, I do not know, nor do I know if this has EVER happened... although some people swear that it's true!

:king:
