Description
The other day I was lucky to catch the swans mating, going through their courtship dance, the mating & the finale.Sadly, the excitement of the moment got the better of me. This is the best out of a bad bunch, but you can see what I was after. All shots were done hand-held with a 70-300mm Sigma lens at full extension, wished I'd had my tripod with me. Oh well, there's another year
Shot on film

So many folks draw this image as a "greeting card" impression of love. You got to see it in person and share it with us. Many thanks Sir Will!! No worries about getting caught up in the moment since it is forever in your mind now.

the bobbing & preening becoming synchronized,
the actual mating, and that last rising up.
It blew me away
