I think most of us are impressed by the majestic elegance and grace of swans on water or in the air, but on land they look relatively clumsy and quite comical as they waddle around These swans were in a group of around a hundred spread over a couple of fields on the Levels. I'm never quite sure why they choose to gather here but we see them in large numbers every winter in this area.
Yes....you're right about the waddling! We have swans in our harbour and they do look comical on land.......although wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of one....they do hissssssss and are bigger than they look.....
@christophercox - they seem to spend quite a while out of the water, Occasionally some of them get into the King Sedgemoor Drain or one of the rhynes (drainage ditches) for a while . I think they are just supplementing their food with a bit of grazing.
