We have a pair of mute swans and last year the male attacked me. Wow..I was badly bruised for a long time...This was past breeding season and now I am afraid to go near our pond...When he sees me approaching the pond he literally flys across the pond to me..I used to swim in the pond but now I am so afraid not only for me but for our grandkids that love to swim...We have 3 acres and 3 ponds so it is not like they have no where to go....how do I survive if he goes near me again? Especially if I am sun bathing in the water !!!!...Or how do I protect our grandkids???? Thanks for the help...
