Whispering secrets----- (Cygnus olor)

---for lifetime lovers. The Male swam into the reserve,where he met up with the female,who was with her 2 fully grown offspring.They made such a fuss of each other,so very noisy,lots of head movements,wing fluttering etc.I did manage to remove one of the cygnets who was in the background,but unable to do so with the other shots-the kids do get in the way!!!!
The highlights are "blown" in the females wing plumage,but could not make it any darker.
