Telford photographer photobombed . . . by a swan
Say weeds! This cheeky swan popped up at just the right moment.
This amazing close-up was captured by Telford photographer Jason Garton as he tried to get a picture of Shropshire's Priorslee Lake.
Mr Garton said he was taking some general pictures when he was 'photobombed' – a photo trend where people, or animals, jump into a photo that was meant to be of something else.
Mr Garton, who lives in Talbot Close, Wrockwardine Wood, with his wife Melanie and two-year-old daughter, Abbie, said he was simply trying to take a picture of the view around the Telford lake, when the swan decided to take a starring role.
He said: "I was trying to take a landscape picture while my daughter was feeding the swans.
"It jumped and leapt into the shot, it was literally inches from my camera.
"I was actually using my mobile phone camera and its head came out of the water and on to the jetty straight in front of me.
"I must admit, it made me jump a bit."
It wasn't the picture Mr Garton was expecting to get – but he said he is delighted with the results.
"It came out really nicely - under the conditions," he said.
"It's one of those pictures you just don't expect"
