Friday Feathered Friend

Reporter Community News

Some delightful words and a picture from Louise Thomas.
"Those with delicate sensibilities look away and stop reading now. For the rest of you, this is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Two black swans/kakīānau (Cygnus atratus) were doing their whole love dance that they do, with the twining necks and head bobbing (I have much nicer photos than this one - but this is the funny one), they finished with some post-coital celebratory honking. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a male greylag goose zoomed in and starting joining in with his own loud honking, while swimming around the loving couple - it quite put the poor old male swan off his stride. He wound up nipping the goose on the bottom to get him to go away - it quite ruined the mood."
