And thanks Doug for the photo to illustrate the explanations given.
In my case, I'm not sure they really intended to take off - they
simply "ricocheted" /bounced for about 300 yards then gave up and
stayed there.
It may have been for them a way to get there faster and I didn't
notice they were actually paddling, I mean the feet didn't "run".
They simply bounced.
maybe coming in for a high speed landing ?
I've seen that here with other species of ducks...
I never thought I could capture this in a single still photo...

I've just uploaded the other two shots I took ( cropped for curious
minds to see the legs). You'll see that the feet don't seem to run.
Rather, it's like skiing, or hydrofoils.
The intial picture is number two of three.
The first shot is labelled nb 3, and the last one number 2, could be
confusing, the were actually fly/gliding from right to left and not
in the reverse ;-) .

Steve - camera speed was 1/640.
Thanks all for your interest and lights.

Actually, they're more like footprints. Swans (and many other
water fowl) run across the water very fast to take off. You are
seeing the footprints at different stages of splash - sort of a
realtime version of time lapse photography.

I see the bird frozen in space but the water kicked up from each
wingbeat...was there some trickery or mutiple images involved?
