Hi John

Usually, swans will stay in deep water as they are protected from most predators at night. If reeds or other aquatic vegetation is free from predators or forms a barrier/island from land access, then the swans may sleep among the reeds or grasses. In either case, shelter is sought from open access from predators or humans. The Regal Swan
