A common site here in Bourne. A Black Swan sleeping.

Living near Bourne Woods in Linconshire we are blessed with many different birds, but this is one of the less exotic inhabitants; One of my "Back Garden Buddies"

I usually practice on these little fellows, discarding many shots, but I liked the wet-look. I had to clone-out a large wet reed stuck to his chest, and lighten his face a little.

All captured using my E-520, and Zuiko 70-300
As always, I would love comments and feedback to help me improve.
Kind regards
Graydon
