They might be innocently frolicking or fishing for food but
they could also be secretly lining up for an attack. It could be a defensive
line to halt any boats from passing through or diverting them away for the banks.
Perhaps there’s a nest nearby or a food source that they don’t want disturbed. Or
perhaps they’re waiting for their numbers to build up before they reclaim more
land. Or it could be the other way around and that they’re waiting for more
humans to go away. They’re not big enough to change the flow of the water,
though they certainly try by making ripples. They might gain a height advantage
by having a bird scout the battlements, though they could easily be spotted
there. They may already have a bird perched and hidden up in the trees or down
in the reeds. They’re just waiting for a honk for go time.
