  16. Beautiful images of the swans. I thought of you in connection with Slimbridge while we were away as we had a lecture about Peter Scott's mother on our trip - a very interesting person.

  28. The third photo is fantastic with the swan's bill in the swirling silver water. The red and yellow patches running down the bills from the eyes are a bit disconcerting, but colorful. Their feathers are so snowy white and perfect, they are such beautiful birds and you photograph them so beautifully too.
