Always keep your bottom clean!
Here's a swan having a really good bottom wash :biggrin: .

He would get a mouth full of water and run its beak over it's feathers to wash them out.

20D
EF500 f4 L
Gitzo 1548 legs/Wimberley gimble VII
ISO 100
1/1000 @ f5

C & C welcome

Thanks for looking at something different from the norm :smile:

Really Nice Alan; refreshingly different Mute Swan shot and beautifully exposed.
