I have been let out a bit earlier than Sue and have been cycling by the Reservoir. There are swans feeding on the young corn in the field by the track and I have watched over the last couple of weeks as the corn has grown higher and the swans have begun to disappear into the green. Sometimes there are geese with them. When you walk along the track all the heads go up at once.
And as I am slowly getting back to sketching, here are a few sketchbook notes of the swans and a little colour study. They are bright white against the spring green of the corn and the dark wood.
