Why were the birds fighting each other today? Swan against swan, geese against swan, goose against greylag, greylag against goose. Feathers flying all over.

Perhaps they have their own version of Brexit that we are not aware of.

If it was a mild sunny day, maybe hormones kicking in and getting ready (territorial/mate choosing) for next years breeding season.

Passerines go through a phase in late autumn of song etc too.

It could've been overcrowding, lots of new arrivals. Swan numbers went from ~5 to 25 in a few days. The pair of emden geese both attacked the same swan at the same time, pushed him back into the lake. See what happens today.

All calm again today. Weird.
