These are great! I watched a very similar scene play out over at Col. Sam Smith Park, where a Mute nest and a Canada Goose nest are located directly across a narrow pond from each other. Both males (ok just assuming it was the males), are trying to protect the area around their nests, but of course it's the swan who keeps winning the territory and chasing the goose back up on land. They definitely do not make good neighbours.

Thanks, yes the Swans are very aggressive indeed
