I really like both these shots for the capturing the action of a bird taking off, great photography

The first is another stunning shot. I like the way the wings and neck are stretched in opposite directions across the frame. You have done very well with these swan shots.

Couple of nice shots there Stephen. Lovely exposures.

thanks folks,
isnt taking off, just a bit of a wing flap.

you need to keep your eye on a swan in a likely position and wait.
they usually telegraph the wingstretch but extending the neck so you let them have it.
if they follow thru, there is a good chance you get the shots
