Cool,Mary!
That's a fine looking photograph of this small 'squadron' of them 'sailing along' towards a ( not too ) distant shore!
It's makes for a really 'Good Show' pf a picture,my friend! : )

Mary,
A beautiful picture of this pair of Black Swans with their Cygnets swimming behind them on the softly rippled water on which the trees on the far shore & the sky above are reflected

This is another good interesting photograph of your style. Interesting notes. I never knew there was a white tail end on a black swan. Never noticed it thats what makes this ...I think.... that you took an angled shot from the back. Their profiles stand a out well and the cute little goslings also. Rest of background is complimentary with clear details and adds context and framing. Thank you for sharing

Quite a good nature shot posted here! Your very appropriate composition grants us an enjoyable view of the cute family scene before you. Never knew that black swans have white feathers in their rears! Sharpness and exposure are good. Well taken!

A very nice shot. The cygnets look great and the natural setting is attractive. It is a little unfortunate that the swan with the cygnets is not offering a profile.

    Thanks Mike yes was hoping they would turn a little more but just kept going - nature can be uncooperative at times :)

I learn so much from your photos, you have shown so many birds that I had not seen before and here you show the black swans with their cygnets swimming toward the other side of the water , this shows that the black swan actually isn't all black, I never knew that they had the white tail feathers.
Well presented to show this pair of swans with their babies.
