Photo of the Day: July 2013

It’s such an effort for swans to get airborne, especially as the first few wingbeats are, of necessity, against water rather than air. You can hear the ‘clap’ of the wings against the water, and the swans wheezing with the strain. Amazing muscle power...

This is so true. The spray behind is from the swan's webbed feet. They run on the surface of the water using every bit of energy to gain speed and momentum to become airborne. It's quite a spectacle.

Sunset this evening.

It was a beautiful sunset as I drove up the M40 this evening. Sadly my Camera was not with me.

For the sake of the other drivers on the M40 that was probably a good thing
