This male swan is angry. I came too close to its wife with the kids.

Hope you'll like this image. Thank you in advance for your comment.

They can be quite vicious when they get angry Cornelius. Nice shot of the racing swan !

I have never seen one put on a show like that before. Good catch.

Good thing it didn't decide to come at you. It may have taken a chunk out of your camera....or you! Excellent shot of the swan, Mr. C.

Wow Cornelius, he really is going full steam. Love the way you took this right above him showing such detail and colours. Really like the way the water sparkles and he sure is very proud looking fellow.

Awesome capture Sir C! Does indeed look like things are in high gear. Hope you got back soon enough to avoid a smack with the wings or a twisting bite.

Man the lifeboats. I'm outta here. A really good angle on this one C. They are such a beautiful bird. Would look good in my magazine. Get momma's number if you would.

Looks as though he was charging at you. Very good capture Mr.C. but be careful. They are very aggressive.

I guess you have no speed limit for swans, Cornelius. This Swan seems to be in overdrive and running full throttle. A fine capture my friend. Excellent work.

Oh boy! I wonder if they nip like geese do. Splendid capture, Cornelius.

The "bird's-eye" view gives dramatic proof of the power of these creatures. One of the flippers is just visible beneath the inky-silver water. That was a close call for you! Both this one and that of the mother and children are gorgeous images and we all thank you for taking the risk.
