Oh, yes, Sue, that's a lovely shot.  One thing I learned from Paul Hilton when I was over there was that all the swans are owned by the queen.  I'd not known that.

Look at this little beauty frm Thomas Crossley.

Here's another lovely swan photo from Thomas, and very unusual.  I think it's one of the first I'd seen with swans out of the water.  He captured them exquisitely.

Look at this little chap (or chapess). All fluffed up to keep warm, looks like he's been at the Christmas pudding.

Yes, Peggy, that one caught my eye straightaway.  One of the things I learned while I was over there this summer is that all the swans are owned by the queen.

Here's an amazing picture by Jez Taylor of one of those cheeky robins:
