Maximum Intimidation
This large swan in the background flew in low and fast - sounding like a small seaplane coming in for a landing. There was lots of splashing, wings stretched out, and head low - all seemingly for maximum intimidation. It worked too, as the one in the lower right made haste to leave and I was about to make a run for it myself. Fortunately, the big guy was only interested in fending off a rival, which apparently didn't include me.
As for the shot, I wasn't quite ready for the action but managed to get a couple of quick shots - including this one. Please note I'll be on and off Flickr for the next few weeks as there's lot's going on at the moment. I will pop back on to see what folks are doing, where I can. Cheers!
