Group of white geese and lone swan on the Thames at Iffley

On Sunday I went for a long walk with some friends along the Thames path from Oxford to Radley.  The sun was shining and we stopped for refreshment at the Isis Farmhouse, Iffley.  As we were sitting outside, on benches near the river, a group of white geese swam to the opposite bank.  They were being followed by a lone swan, who looked none too friendly.

The geese climbed onto the bank and gathered together under the tree branches.

Some of the group looked as though they were thinking of going for another swim.
