On my first pass by the end of the lake I drew a blank on the Swans but on returning I spotted her on the nest. There are several new fires in the area sending a heavy haze of smoke across the area so the photo is grainy but I was happy just to know they had returned to the lake they've nested on for several years.

A very nice shot of this swan on her nest. Great environment shown in the seen as well.

Glad your favorite swans are back. Your swan is beautyful and looks very comfortable on the nest. Appreciate that you frame the scene wider. I Like the compo you've done with the foreground and the color of the forest in the background. Very nice.

That is quite the nest she is sitting on. I really like the view of the marshy area she is nesting in. The grasses and bull rushes are so tall it is easy to see how she could easily hide. Very nicely captured Heather she stands out well against the grasses. I don’t think the smoke hindered your shot at all. Stay safe amongst all those wild fires.
