Wish people would leave the swans alone , they have wings they can fly it’s the time of year where family’s explore there territory’s . This idiot seems to think they aren’t aloud to go into another swans area . They are looking for food . The swans looked so scared amd stressed . It pisses me off

Nature in the raw🦢 Earlier today witnessed the Cob protect his family by constantly chasing another smaller younger swan away (which didn't appear to be a threat) to the extent that it ended up death by drowning (head held under whilst trying to stand on it). #Swans #Yorkshire #HumberheadLevels
Pair of Mute Swan with six cygnets feeding on a local high level drain. Cob pursued another & ended up in death from aggressive pursuit & drowning.

What could be more British/English than having lunch at a Thames-side pub watching the King's Swan-Uppers arrive for theirs after a hard morning rowing along the river from Shepperton to Staines and ringing cygnets (upping) on behalf of King Charles III . #Summer #SwanUpping #Traditional #Royalty

Video. King’s Swan Upping on the Thames shows healthy cygnets but rising litter
Video. Traditional skiffs glided along the River Thames during Swan Upping as crews counted and weighed cygnets, reporting encouraging numbers while warning about the growing threat of river litter.

@johnmtippetts.bsky.social watched and filmed the Swan Upping flotilla through #Berkshire. Several Dunkirk Little Ships are towing the 'Uppers' skiffs to give the oarsmen a rest 😅 before they gathered the next group of cygnets.
