was smaller than the adult mute swans around, was swimming around by itself, funny thing was I was in the bushes trying to hide from it waiting for a clear shot, but it spotted me and actually swam right over.. and wasn't bothered by me at all, so it was used to people. the ones I usually see around the river stay clear.. after a while it joined a pair of mutes and followed them up the creek
Young Mute or Tundra?
