Title: Mute Swan attacks
Post by: cosmo3667 on April 10, 2013, 09:58:20 AM

Down at the Bluffs on a beautiful sunny day. Most of the Trumpeter Swans may of moved on leaving quite a few Mute Swans. With the increase of Swans and the competition for a mate the fights and posturing is fun to watch. I watched this particular Swan swim full steam across the entire harbour area and then break out in attack mode and chase a potenial suitor away.
