Cob

I noticed today another pair of Swans off the end of the pier, I wonder if this is the reason why our lot are keeping the cygnets around - safety in numbers perhaps ? I think this was the main reason last year - to ward off the Cob that was trying to take over the territory. The cobs main purpose in life is to defend the territory, and this will inevitably mean fights and disputes every year. They are fearsome birds when the dander is up and they are capable of fighting to the death. I thought I would let you see what beautiful creatures they are from some previous pics.
