Mute swan with reflections.

Every year a swan makes their nest next to the bike path (or the automotive path or the canal).
And every year someone puts up a fence to guard the swan (guard the bikers? walkers?).
Small nice things are good.

Nine hours of hard boating got me as far as a 40-minute car ride.
On average, it's 3 miles/hour, and 3 locks/hour.

The boat is big, so there were lots of nervous ducks and geese in the water, and nervous lambs on land. The first ducklings of the year were only 3 in number; the others either fell prey or failed to hatch. Also a nesting swan and nesting goose. Only one moor hen.
