Mute swans (Cygnus olor) sure do get stroppy at this time of year. I guess it’s all about establishing and protecting their relationships with their female companions but sometimes they do get a bit carried away. This angry bird must’ve chased the interloper almost 500 metres before it was satisfied the other bird was far enough away from its lady friend and returned to her.





Wow, an amazing set of images Annie, you get a real sense of the bird’s intention, I wouldn’t want to be on the receiving end of that!

Though usually serene and elegant creatures, they can be quite vicious at this time of year. Thanks, Theresa.
