I was standing on top of a sand dune overlooking the ocean and spotted these two swans in the distance flying along the sand dune. I could hear their wings making a throbbing sound which grew louder and louder as they approached my position on the dune.
I found these two ducks on a log tucked away in a corner of a salt marsh under some low hanging tree branches.
