We have some resident swans on the village ponds where I live. Every so often, they like to come across the road for a visit.
Swans are natural wanderers, especially when they are looking for food. Even when they have cygnets, they will march their young to different ponds in the village when they are only a few days old.
Over the years, there's even been times I haven't been able to get in my car as a swan has been lying next to the door. Can you imagine trying to explain to your boss why you are late? Mr Swan especially likes to look at his reflection in the side of my car or in the wing mirror. I think he thinks it's another swan.
When they get a little bit too close, you know it's time to leave. They have very sharp, serrated edges in their beaks, and you don't want to be on the receiving end of them.
And don't get me started on my neighbours VERY free range chickens ....
