Swan Updating

(Borrowed my title idea from the practice of swan-upping, the carving of nicks in the beaks of cygnets to show ownership. I thought they were all owned by the Queen.)

The waterfowl on the river are so well-fed since the arrival of the swan, none of them seem bothered to flock around when another loaf of bread arrives. The swan was more interested in its toilette today, and pulled quite a crowd. Filming through the railings was quite difficult, especially as the flow of the river kept carrying the swan away.

The water looks quite black and murky in the video, but in fact, it's just the stirred up muddy riverbed. It managed to clean the swan very nicely.
