Fight
I was shooting at a Trash the Dress shoot when the younger male swan grabbed hold of one of the cygnets. Then Dad swan came over and a 20 minute fight ensued. Towards the end, they were both exhausted.
Then Dad swan tried to drown the intruder. (I've since read that this is a common ending to a fight between males!) I couldn't bear to watch and so I handed my camera to one of the models and jumped in the water! It was thigh deep but I managed to wade to them and pulled Dad swan off by his neck. At that point I suddenly thought to myself that it was a foolish thing to do, but they were both too exhausted to set about me. So intruder swan lived to fight another day.
