I saddled up with the 70-200 for a walk this morning. Walking towards the harbour I was surprised to see the grey heron posing on a wall. He was backlit but beggars can't be choosers:

At the harbour the swans were in direct sunlight and I wasn't going to bother taking a pic until I spotted this one:

to see it properly I overexposed the bird

His leg is growing out of his back :scratch

    How many photographers does it take to change a light bulb? 50. One to change the bulb, and forty-nine to say, "I could have done that better!"

    Likewise Harry, I will keep an eye out for this particular swan, It would be interesting to see how he manages to walk !!
