Forging a path
I was visiting the WWT Welney nature reserve when I saw this mute swan very gingerly step onto and walk through a flock of black-tailed Godwits on one of the shallow islands. It took the best part of a minute for the swan to walk a few meters before settling down, and most of the time the Godwits were happy with what was happening - but this is the moment a few of them decided they wanted to relocate just in case!
