Swan at duck pond

[astrelec]

I live on a small pond where ppl release their domestic ducks when they grow up. we have had the same few perkins for a few years but recently there have been a few more added. We also have a ton of geese and wild mallards. They all get along alright, the only problem being the geese being aggressive towards the perkins, but that’s to be expected from my understanding. recently we have had a swan visit the pond. the same one twice now. It was a few months apart, but with all the new ducks, and the addition of ducklings and goosings, i’m not sure if i should be worried about it. I haven’t seen it do anything other then scare the geese but i do worry about the smaller ducks and baby birds. Anyone know anything about swans lol.

Mute Swans was the only one that said they were very aggressive but it was during breeding season and raising signets
