Out and About - Wildlife

I find this the best time of year, especially being by a lake.  I took these images of the local swan family and their signets one evening as the sun was setting.

  

I had never seen a baby Coot before now.  There have been a couple of nesting pairs at the lake this summer.  I managed to get these images, even though I wasn’t able to get very close.  My 400mm lens was very useful in this instance...
