Swan say "Got bread?"
But what does the fox say?
I saw this swan along the canal, today. It perked right up when it saw me boating along, because as far as the swan is concerned, boat=bread.
But not every boat. And as we all know from Psychology 101, intermittent reinforcement is the hardest kind of conditioning to break.
Feed them once and these birds will ALWAYS beg for bread—and hiss if there's none.

One of the pair of mute swans that always pays me a visit whenever I pop over to Sneyd Reservoir taken a couple of weeks back. I think they will spent more time over in the sheltered portion of the lake they nest on over the next couple of months.
The water there has a funny tinge but looks great when it catches the light. I personally wouldn't want to spend time in it :(
