I was practicing with flight shot, luckily some of them are good, the flying swan is one of my favorite in this series. The light is getting better in the end of my birding session, I filled up my memory card with some more birds in water before leaving. I am quite happy with the results. Another good sign is spring moulting of black-headed gull, which mean spring is approaching, finally.
