For the first time since Christmas the light was sufficient today. I still haven't got the hang of getting the exposure correct with this long lens, but I'm getting there. I have often heard it said that birds are much easier to photograph than one might expect, because they are willing to sit there and pose for you — more willing than humans, anyway. Milton Country Park (which is currently threatened with closure) was full of families today, so all the swans were being very friendly, expecting to be thrown bits of stale bread.
