Whooper Swans in flight

Whooper Swans in flight (Cygnus cygnus)

There were several flocks of Whooper Swans flying over the inlet on Monday and I took a lot of pictures. This pair flew very close and I got 2 shots but I think this one is my favourite.
We've had quite a lot of snow here today. Just went out to fetch the post and feed the birds.
