Was chased down a river by one of these half a life time ago, incredibly protective if you canoe too close to their nest. There were 3 of us, me and my mates, Clive and Nigel who are brothers. Luckily for me and Nigel, we were better canoeists than Clive who took a wing to his arm and broke it.

Thank you for your views, comments and favs on yesterday’s offering. Much appreciated.

Wonderful narrative, I didn’t realize how powerful the swan’s wings are! This is a wonderful image, I like the water spray too.
