Not very mute! (Cygnus olor)

I took my brother and sister-in-law off to the Forest of Dean on the Friday, for a weekend house party, consisting of some relatives and friends to celebrate a big birthday.

En route we stopped at Monmouth and sat down by the river Wye for a while. A Mute Swan pair were swimming around and it looks for all the world as if she's nagging him, doesn't it LOL
