Just trying out google maps want to see can I use it for anything interesting.

The chase swan versus baby duck

Pleased to say the duck chick got away, but it made for a interesting photo.  Swans don't seem to like ducks getting too close and aren't shy in letting them know.

Swan turning eggs

Swan turning eggs was taken in the Japanese gardens in Co. Kildare.  I think I was very lucky to get such a interesting photo like this one.  Swans really put a lot of effort into taking care of their eggs and looking after their nests.

Swan taking flight

Swan taking flight.  This is one of my favourite pictures it was taken in Emo Court, Emo, Co.Laois.  I had been trying  for ages to get a picture of a swan in flight but they rarely took flight when I was around, but as luck would have it this one decided to take off right in front of me
