Swan Flying Over Water

Start swan in the evening

Usually, a Canada goose just has to move a yard or two off the water and onto the shore in order for a male mute swan to consider itself the victor. Occasionally, the swan will waddle onto the shore and continue the pursuit there. If the goose just doesn't get the hint, then in a whooping of wings and a splashing of feet, the cob will take off and continue its pursuit in the air. The odd thing is that other Canada geese can swim close by and be ignored. Once he has fixed his target, the male swan is relentless. Any swan with raised wings is in aggressive mood. When swimming, the bow wave at the front shows that the bird is travelling at speed.

A winter's day on a frozen Wilts & Berks canal at Swindon, and two young swans try out their wings. Their wings are a blur as they sweep by, but a bridge across the canal forces them to land. They are two of a brood of seven, of which the other three seem to have flown the nest. The parent mute swans are still swimming in the melting waters, a little way round the bend. The Wilts & Berks canal has its mid-point at Swindon. It links the River Thames at Abingdon (Oxon) with the Kennet & Avon Canal near Melksham (Wilts). Today (2010), the waterway is located in Wiltshire and Oxfordshire only (not Berkshire) since Local Government boundary changes in the 1970s.

Swans are birds of the family Anatidae within the genus Cygnus. The swans' closest relatives include the geese and ducks.

Wings spread, a furious mute swan (Cygnus olor) flies and splashes after a single Canada goose (out of frame). Ducks and herons are tolerated on this village pond in Mitcham, but geese and their goslings are chased relentlessly until they quit the water.
