A parent with a youngster, I'm guessing mum. Dad was still on the ground and did eventually took to air. They are as elegant in the air as they are on he ground. And no, it's not a composite image.

Good luck to those heading up north tomorrow.

Hello Des.

Good capture and composition on this one and love the orange beak of the adult swan just adding that bit of colour.

A very ethereal image. Nice to have one wings up and the other wings down. Well composed too.
