Surprise surprise
The plan for today was trying to get some shots at the White-tailed eagle. While waiting in my hideout this mink came up in the waterfront for a short while before it went to its burrow.

Whooper Swan’s
Spent the day trying to get some photos of a flock of Whooper swan’s. My main goal was to capture behaviour and portrait but since they wouldn’t let me close enough I focused on the ones flying away and to the flock.
