    This Mute Swan managed to take off from the frozen pond in the end but it took a bit of effort. I processed quite a few pictures from this sequence at the time but not this one for some reason. 3 old pictures this week but the ones that I've processed previously have been reprocessed and none...

    Preparing for take off

    Had a great time on Landsort despite some thick fog at times. Saw a lot of birds, including some unusual ones, and took a lot of photographs and now I'm going to take it easy for a couple of days - maybe. :-) I'll probably post a few more from this series.
