[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Cygnus olor (TUR: Kuğu, ENG: Mute Swan):

Mute swan is a symbol of beuty and neatness. This is valid not only for their swmimming but also their flying as in this photo. Is is very surprising how they carry their long neck and head in right position for a long time while flying.

Swans came Sazköy area about one month ago and still there. I count about 40 individal. Unfortunately 6 of them were killed by hunters even thoug it is forbidden. On the other hand Sazköy area was closed to hunting for next season. In this period I am going to go there every month and continue to record bird species there during one year.

All the best

Hi Mustafa,
Very nice syncronized in-flight capture of those swans, the one in front is truly magnificent against that dark BG. TFS indeed!

Çok güzel bir uçar foto olmuş, arka alanın koyu renk oluşu pozlamayı zorlaştırmış olsa da çok başarılı. Tebrikler.

Hoca nefis bir kare! Eline sağlık... selamlar
