I was glad this
black swan was behind a wire fence. When he saw me
near the pond he swam over and started pecking at
the wire fence in a way that made me grateful that
it was not me that he was pecking! As I moved off
around the pond he followed me and trampled over a
pair of Mallard who quickly got out of his way. So,
be careful if you go down by the fenced pond. The
fence is obviously there for a purpose!
