Swan Lake - Nairn

Popeye and Penny are nesting for the 6th year in a row, today they gave me a truly wonderful Swan lake display . 

The light was far from perfect, but I was privileged to witness a full mating session, and can see perhaps where Tchaikovsky got inspiration for his music. 

It also partly inspired me to form the River Nairn Swans & Waterfowl Trust.

The sequence of shots - minus the act of mating tells the story.
