SWAN SP?
I photographed this bird in the distance with a small compact camera,zoomed in it may well be a Bewick's. Over Lamby lake.
If you enlarge the lower shot the yellow on the bill looks quite pointed, so I would suggest Whooper. I notice Cardiff Clive posted a fly-over Whooper on the GBC site this morning at Lamby/P.Tredelerch.

Thought you were in the undergrowth Bob.Swan was directly above me.
I'd go for Mute Swan - pointed tail beyond feet, black lores & mottled brown juv plumage.
definite mute swan me thinks
Sure,looks like a Mute.
