thanks harry and ice-you won't find australian swans anywhere else but here and in a zoo-thankfully they let you get quite close-enough for the 300mm to do its job

once i get a 500mm i will have a serious try at birding,well manual focus birding to begin with,if i can get a pentax 500mm for the right price

Beautiful black swan. Don't worry about the sensor dust; I didn't see it until you call my attention there. Even then I had to look around to find it, and you can take it out easily. Good shot.
