This is actually an excellent shot, Stefan, imnsho … These large birds are not so very adept at taking off from water, eh ? – like so many of the big water birds. And your frame shows it, combined with their beauty.
Goodonyermate !
They actually stood on land when I first saw them, I hit the brakes in my car, hoisted down the window on my right door, up with the camera … and they left in panic.
Strange Birds.. 🙂

Good capture
Thanks!
Vilken fin bild, ser nästan ut som en målning.
Tack, jag hade gärna fått tid att fota deras framsida också, men de fick brått till något annat ställe.:)
