You wouldn't normally associate expression with such fixed facial features as birds have, but you're certainly captured a loving expression if I've ever seen one on that adult swan's face. Beautiful touching shot with lovely details

Nature offers us precious moments like this from time to time but few know how to capture it apart from in their mind. Thank you for sharing it with us

Incredible. A piece that required quite a span of patience, no doubt! Brilliant work - I really admire the way you used the light. My favorite photography of all is that which is adorable as well as technically pleasing to the eye. Lots of people do not realize that what makes a shot like this is the talent of the artist, not just the lovable moment that they've captured.

Beautiful and cute shot. I love how the little chick is in the safety of its mother's back.
Was this shot hard to get?

Cheers!!!!! yes a very difficult shot, more so becaurse of the moment and the very little window of time where these intimate moments
occur. 3 or 4 days once a year is the window really. And most difficult of all with wildlife is getting the right range and above all the light in the right direction. I've been after this for 3-4 years now

Many thanks thats why i love observing and photographing wildlife, especially birds. They all have feelings and are on show every second of the day, be it defensive, aggression, the list is endless, or in this case love and affection.
