p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Trumpeter Cygnets....(warning high cute factor...)


This is the first year on record that a family has nested in this location. I finally caught the cygnets out in the open today. 3000 images and still lots to process so here are 5 I pulled out at random.




1) Proud parent....hard to compose






2) The family that preens together....






3) The family that feeds together....






4) Feeding on pond scum...yum






5) Cute as can be...

Awesome images, Geoff ... But we all expect this when you post

And BTW you're fortunate to be able to pull out 5 at random and have them in focus ... After all you're not shooting a N***n 810

)

I could shoot 300 and be lucky to get 5 ... Tomorrow I'm shooting 3000 .... Thats how its done ahahaha!

As we all know the 7D2 only gets about 3 in 10 keepers so yeah shooting 3000 is how its done. In all seriousness, I was just super excited that the swans came close to me as I've tried two times in the past week and they were way far away or deep in the grass so 3000 was just a bit of over excitement.
