What a lovely story keberoxu! Those kindly nuns, and how clever of the mother duck to have such a good sense of direction! I wish there was some solution to our Swan Problem.

My husband had never seen a swan before coming to UK, and he was very upset seeing the silly things dragging themselves painfully along the main street. He wanted to lift them all up and put them in the boot of his car, then convey them over to the Lake. I had to explain that adult swans can be very dangerous, and will attack viciously if confronted.
Even when I walk alongside them trying to slow down the traffic, the pen always hisses loudly, but he's never attacked me.
