White visitor This mute swan came to our garden pond today. The Ljubljanica river runs only 20m away from our house and a couple of them are nesting somewhere nearby. The river is busy with rowers (there is a rowing club across the river) and the male is chasing rowers all the time. He is quite aggressive, he even chased me and tried to bite me on a paddle board :)<br />
