A Dutch saying says, in May every bird lays an egg.. Well with this swan it is.. The calander showed the second of may.. So, this bird can count on its internal clock! :o) This one was taken from out of my car, with a beanbag as a help.. She suddenly revealed her eggs, it was a surprise for me, and i took this shot.. These eggs look like sort of stones..!

Used PS CSII for PP
Beanbag
noise ninja for noise reduction

"As Sure as Eggs is Eggs", yeah, from my
favourite Genesis song "Supperīs Ready"...
excellent shot, olger! :-)
i really like the tight crop and pov
showing only the upper half of the eggs
and part of mom.
the eggs can be 11,5 x 7,5 cm big and have a weight of about 350g.
well seen & captured, thor.

I like swan.
beautiful shot.
