Fighting for territory

Just read an article in our local newspaper what to do and whom to call if finding an injured swan. Seems that in these weeks a lot of fighting between swans is going on. Background is an overpopulation during breading season, as there are more swans than potential breading territories. There is sort of a "waiting list" for non-breeding swans, until the can conquer a place in the following years.

Finally also good news from blipfoto & Joe, also fighting hard to keep the territory. Excellent to hear that there is hope and people work on scenarios.
