I didn't expect to see a young Swan. Luckily I just happened to have about half a kilo of 'Wild Things' Swan and Duck food in my bag. That went down well. Apparently it is a "Rescue" Swan that has been released back into the wild. It's got a blue ring with 4CFN in white text on its left leg. I'm hoping to find out a bit of history regarding this bird.
