A flock of swans generally keep
to themselves. They’ll hang around in small groups, separating only to grab the
nearest piece of food. But occasionally you’ll spot a swan that’s gone solo.
Separated from its peers, it wanders the waters alone, though often it hangs
out with smaller water fowl to make it look like king of the duck pond. You can
almost picture it wearing sunglasses and a leather jacket by the way it struts.
It’s more likely to be spotted in manmade water features than natural rivers as
the pickings are better. Sometimes it leads its gang like groupies who worship
the one with the master plan to get fed. In earlier times it must watch the
groups to see who he must eliminate or influence to become the new leader. But
in truth, it’s abandoned the ways of its fellows and it’s going it alone.
