That is why I have exchanged the telephoto for a 50 mm lens. This CloseUp is thus made.

This is probably the black swan that occasionally also sits in the water at our house. Now he was part of a group of at least fifty lump swans at Rodenrijs.

I had never seen a pair of black swans before. Last year regularly a single bird, at the house and also in a group of lump swans.
