Very nice. I always used to think swans were so graceful and peaceful, until I was attacked by one. They are still beautiful though.

Thanks for the comment.

My next-door neigbour has a similar problem with domestic geese: they always try to chase her away - the noise and mayhem has to be seen to be believed!

Very good views of them. They seem calm and unconcerned about your presence. I suppose they've figured out that they're safe and protected there. Will they nest there?
4Moorhens2 2 years ago

Steve, I'm not sure whether they will nest on the Pool, but they did mate on the water whilst I was there and you know how is it is - I missed it with my camera. Its about the only time that I have heard them make any sound: the male makes a kind of growling chatter when he mounts the female.

I'll keep a look out and see if they do nest there, doubt it because there are no reed beds or cover - its more of a transit airport for ducks, geese, swans, etc. and even oyster catchers...
