Swan wars

There is still a very aggressive swan on the canal.

Yesterday there was a swan wandering along the road holding up all the traffic.

Eventually a brave motorist got out of his car and captured the wandering swan in what looked like a very practised manner.

He then walked across the bridge on to the canal bank  above the lock and released the swan.

Unfortunately this swan was from beneath the lock!

There was a brief stand off, some hissing and some posturing, then the interloper flew over the lock gates and back to his particular stretch of river.
