OK maybe it was not true fear, but we did keep our distance. Three grown men getting chased a bit by a swam…not among our best moment. Like a lot of stupid ideas it starts out with some group think going on and then things just progress from there. Someone remembered I still had some biscuits left over and that we should throw them to the swam and see. Well eventually we ran out of biscuits and he was not at all pleased with us. There he is standing next to my tripod as I grab my camera and moved back hoping to get a shot in case I needed to identify him in a line up later on or something. He seems to be checking out the view as well, maybe wondering what the heck I was trying to photograph. He probably was jaded by the gorgeous scenery so constantly around him. I just hope we didn’t create a monster and cause a crisis in future injured biscuit-less photographers.

Nothing to be ashamed about — I wouldn’t trust that swan either, especially since you were at Loch Lomond. Who knows what goes on there? Nice photo.
Haha, don’t trust a swan…probably good advice in general….
We met some attack swans in Stratford Upon Avon and we didn’t even feed them. It is a striking photo and a really funny story.
I always try to go for the funny story! Ahh so attack swans are common then to the UK? good to know
Umm, I clearly see the “DO NOT FEED THE SWAN” sign off to the left. Although the swan could be attracted to the flamingo-like stance of the tripod. Graceful!
sadly i dont recall any sign, although i dont doubt there might have been! Maybe he was just attracted to my lovely tripod!
