Now I don`t usually take photos of swans and I know I have chopped a bit of the tail off, but I kinda like this.Is it the swan version of having a cuddle?

This is a Nuthatch, i`m pretty sure anyway.

Is there some ghosting on the swan picture to the left of the neck?

Yeah there is Lee, any idea what caused it?

Thanks for the id Jim.....:thumbs:

and the comments all.......:thumbs:

Edit...Lee, just checked the NEF file, that has it as well.

[LeeP]

Caused by your filter perhaps?

Is it ghosting or some very bizzare foliage?

[fracster]

No foliage in between us mate.....:shrug:

80-400 Lee, no filter on it.
