Mute Swans. (Cheap 80-200 ef lens)

Hope everyones well.
Managed to sneak an hour's pleasure into a boring day yesterday. Took a Gig of pictures mainly Mallards and Coots. Nothing to really show for it but i liked the look of a few swan shots. Need to save for a decent lens now the loaned ones have gone back. The basic EF 80-200 4.5-5.6 mk11 just does'nt seem to catch any colour.
Oh well, any C&C's are always welcome.

Cheers Mitch,
That lens does alright! Nope, its hard work, i need a loan.
For the cost it probably is good value (i'm no expert in lenses), but for bird photography it's hard work.
After using the 70-200 f4 L and a sigma 135-400. What little i know does point me to the conclusion that you get what you pay for. Fancy the canon 100-400 IS, if me loan comes through.
Thanks again Mitch much appreciated.

Very nice shots, I really like pics#1, very nice detail with the drops of water and a great flight shot in pic#3.
