members that we have a 'rogue' swan on the<br>river near Ditton Corner/Plough Reach. I believe it is one of a nesting pair<br>that has developed a bad temper. Bill, did you mention this at the City<br>Moorings Meeting on Wednesday 1 April? Liz Sheehan (narrowboat 'Rosie')<br>called into the office on Friday afternoon and said that one of the swans<br>near the Plough had taken on an attitude. Presumably it's the same one.<br>Cheers,<br>Pip<br><br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: A.O.

This evening just <br>before 8:00 it
flew around Ditton Corner to attack me in my single, causing <br>me to capsize. The swan could not see me when it took off and I was moving <br>away from Ditton, and it landed on my rigger and attacked me with its beak. <br>I was in the middle of the river, away from any banks or reeds so I could <br>not have been threatening any nest. If the swan continues to be this <br>aggressive, especially with more juniors on the river at the weekends, then <br>there will be more cases like mine and there may be injuries.<br><br>Thank you<br>Alan Marron<br><br><br></div></div></div></body></html>
