Cleared for take off ............
What a great sight and noise it is when a Mute Swan decides to get airborne, apart from the flapping noise as its wings beat against the surface of the water it has to sprint like Linford Cristie to get up to take off speed.

There's only one other bird I could sit with my eyes closed and know what it is from it's take off from water, the Shoveller. Have a listen next time you're out.
