This swan was being very photogenic - almost as if it was posing for some of the shots! I love the water droplets resting on the plumage of the swan. I think this must be a young one since its feathers still have a brown tinge to them (maybe someone can verify this for me?)

This swan was just posing for the shot - trying to be all elegant for me.

This seagull was flying about whilst people were feeding the ducks. I think it was looking for an opportunity to swoop down and steal some food. I captured this shot exactly like this, without cropping - I felt the composition was rather neat so I just left it the way it was.
This was taken with my Sigma 50-500 EX lens at 500mm

The way this swan had its wings looked like it was trying to display a big heart
