I was glad this black swan was behind a wire fence. When he saw me near the pond he swam over and started pecking at the wire fence in a way that made me grateful that it was not me that he was pecking! As I moved off around the pond he followed me and trampled over a pair of Mallard who quickly got out of his way. So, be careful if you go down by the fenced pond. The fence is obviously there for a purpose! |
