More aquatic aggro at St Ives

This one would pick a fight with anyone!
Observing much better that shopping!

I agree, the swans do look rather regal (and a little scary) when they fluff up their feathers in that aggressive mode. Nice shooting! (Errr, why were all these birds fighting while you were around?? Hmm?)

There must have been fifty or so in a pack at the quayside - spotting or hearing the rustle of a bag with stale bread in it as it is a regular spot for all ages to come and feed them. Just a couple of the males were the trouble makers, possibly asserting their status over the others.

This lady and her carer - drawing a good crowd below - obviously were regulars, as were toddlers in their buggies, all enjoying the experience.
