Beautiful action shot !!

Great capture of this take off, HappySnapper. The swan almost looks like its not walking but running on water!
May Andy rejoin us soon at what we all like to do!

Wonderful action shot!

Another terrific capture Maurice.
Yes indeed, our thoughts are with Andy.

A day for geese on Ipernity as mine and Keith Burton also feature them. Like you, my fingers are crossed for Andy.

You've caught the action perfectly here Maurice...............swans are very graceful once they're up and flying, but take off and landing is a bit chaotic!

I'll let you break the news to Herb that this is not a goose :-)))

:-))

Fantastic action shot, Maurice - and you chosed the right moment. Yes, are thoughts are with Andy.

Thank you Percy, Usually I would be unaware of the swans intention to take flight, the first I would know is when I hear the wings beating on the water. The most exciting part is when I swing round to find the action and bring the camera into focus. I was lucky this time as the swan was quiet a way out and not hard to lock on to, I was able to fire off about six shots once airborne.

Ready for take-off ! A fantastic moment, Maurice !

Always a spectacular sight Maurice, perfect timing and terrific focas,
Andy has our good wishes and our thoughts.

Hey Maurice! what a fantastic shot, so well done for sure. its a great action shot !! YES YES, the best of wishes for Andy. Ive been off ipernity a bit lately, your info under the shot mentions

Best wishes, YOU stay safe. Sarah
