Be off with you.

This is a follow on from the shot I posted last week about the swan that won't leave his parents.

 

His father is really pi**ed off now and is trying to drive him away, the rest of the brood left the lake ages ago but this one doesn't want to leave home and make his own way in the world... a bit like kids...   Every time the youngster enters the water this happens, even if his father is on the other side of the lake he soon swims over to give his son a good slapping.

I guess he's just trying to teach the young one to be independent.

I know how his parents feel. My kids kept coming back too.
