Great shot, Phil. As Mark says, it looks like the swan display team.

A well drilled flight plan. A very interesting shot right place right time.

This works for me Phil. Nice formation flight shot.

Have you thought of entering the main subject in "Strictly"? Reckon it could give Ann Widdecombe a run for her money :biggrin:

Brilliant. Plenty to interest the eye; from the really 'popping' front swan to the formation coming in behind. A really interesting image, like it lots.
