Whooper Swans

I wasn't planning on going for a walk today - it was raining and I'd been suffering from a cold; however a message from Simon that there were 6 Whooper Swans got me out of my sick bed and I had a quick drive to the lake front.  The Whoopers were present just offshore from the car park, and as I got out to take some photos I could hear them 'whooping'.  Seconds later, they took off and after circling round, flew off in the direction of Ealees Valley and I lost them behind the trees.
