Field Notes

Notes:

After waiting patiently watching this magnificent Swan groom itself, I knew there was a chance it would stretch it's wings for me. Sure enough, patience paid off.

Thank you for the comments, I just sat patiently in the same spot, watching the Swan clean itself, They usually stretch afterwards so I just had to wait for the moment. I was lucky to catch the feather falling too and this shot with it resting on the water is what makes the image for me.
