During my last walk in London's St. James's Park on a sunny day in the middle of January I easily located some of the group of black swans that now live in the park.
This swan was swimming along just behind a companion, minding it's own business while sailing down a choppy lake. It was sunny but very windy.
Following it was one of the park's other black swans in aggressive mode. I believe the chaser was one of the park's original residents and it was following a newcomer that had flown in from neighbouring Hyde Park some months ago. The swan that is being chased turned it's head a little to see what was going on behind.
This was a swan in angry mode, with lots of lovely ruffled feathers.
The black swan couple spurted ahead in order to get away from their aggressor who eventually gave up the chase, turned around and swam back along the lake in the opposite direction.
