Male swan spots contemplates 300mm f4 lens between the trees. Handsome creature though he is, this particular individual is also a terrible bully. He chased away the swans that were previously resident on the main lake in Kelsey Park, Beckenham, and as the breeding season approaches he becomes incredibly aggressive. Last year's cygnets were long since chased away, so now he's focusing on other things. For some reason he ignores some larger birds (Egyptian geese, Canada geese etc) and spends his time monstering greylags. If he catches one, he'll attempt to drown it - and occasionally he succeeds. I know swans can be aggressive, but I've never previously watched one that behaves quite like this.
