This was my fourth visit to the area which had been pretty unproductive on the Whooper Swan front! Today however, I was looking at a decent number, nineteen in total and they were not too distant!
There were two family group, here with two juvs (plus one)...
Adults were randomly scattered around...
Another family group, this time with three juvs!
The interaction between swans wasn't always good natured as the pair of Mute Swans who considered this area as home, kept trying to evict the interlopers (even various other Mutes too!)
It was mostly posturing and spitting none of the swans really gave way
Wingflaps too!
Finally order was restored with no victor declared!
Filling the frame this time!
The big family serenely paddling to quieter waters!
My annual Whooper fix at last!
