A study, by the University of Exeter and the Wildfowl & Wetlands Trust (WWT), into the behaviour of mute and whooper swans revealed that they’d give up time they should be resting to quarrel over the best feeding spots.
“on the last weekend of May, we were wondering where we would go as our first farther away outing – walking farther afield, outdoors, should be OK. “
Into the dark of the arch the swan floats/And the black depth of my sorrow/Bears a white rose of flame.
“Swans in the winter air
A white perfection have”
