Swansong

[TrueBlue]

We have a large cob 'George' who lives around Trowlock Island , periodically he will chase an intruder down the lock cut and corner it at the lock gates , and try to kill it ...

We regularly have to chase him away with boathooks , and lock the distressed swan downstream.

We have a pair of Egyptian Geese that live on the weir island and in the general vicinity of the lock , and George has broken the females wing. It doesn't seem to affect her much , they just walk and swim around the place instead of flying.

I thought the Paraquats and Dominion Geese were noisy; perhaps George joins me in feeling that the Spectacular Geese are worse and wants rid, well, hope they will move on.....
