Within minutes of this pic being taken the sky clouded over again and returned to grey :(

Farewell Spit's inner beach is packed with Black Swans. This one was spotted a little further south at Puponga enjoying a late afternoon preen. He was a bit far away for my lens to do him justice and this has been heavily cropped. You get the idea though....!!

Couldn't resist this early evening shot of the beautifully peaceful Pakawau. The hills in the background are the southern end of Goden Bay
