A very nice portrait of an adorable bird.

I was amused by how this swan seemed to greet the turtles when she climbed onto this tiny islet.

Shot from my car, Tamron Adaptall-2 400/4 65B + Pentax A 2x-L Rear Converter...

Interesting encounter (and good shot too, but that goes without saying...), I'm curious if you saw if she offered any more interaction to the turtles, or just settled down ignoring them after that?

That is lovely.
Great detail. - Star lens' value for money, eh?

That lens certainly copes will with cropping. That's some impressive detail.

Indeed, a very nice image and definitely one for a caption contest.

Saw this little fella scooting up the tree last week

A second, and he was gone.

No other interaction... she briefly flapped her wings and then settled down. Her mate was foraging nearby. Unfortunately I didn't have time to hang around and see what happened next.
