I love swans. They are a bit of a Jeckyl and Hyde type bird - very graceful but nasty too. I've been on the receiving end of their beaks which have serrated edges. Then again I've had the village swans come over to me with their young.
These photos are from a recent visit to a National Trust property with a beautiful lake.
