I used the lens that came with the camera. 18-55mm.
It was the exposure I played with to get the water looming that way. I did try a 5 sec exposure but the sun was so low and bright that allvthe photos were over exposed. I think I cut down to a 2 sec exposure and the aperture was pretty regular.
I didn't notice it before! There were swans doing that but I missed the shot and I couldn't wait around all day. I really wanted a shot of a moor hen but they were not so tame
I got the birds in flight using the sports mode for continuous shooting. I made the birds jump so they flew in the air. Then I started shooting.

Absolutely! Couldn't live without that program now! Adding saturation, vibrance, sharpness etc makes some photos look so much better. Also basic cropping works wonders!
