The Riverside Restaurant

off the M9 at Stirling has a man made lochan next to it with a fountain and two resident swans.

Mrs Swan is sitting on her nest and I was too much of a scardy cat to get close (how I wish I had a zoom lens!) I wasn't too keen on getting up close to Mr Swan either. He rushed at me and I beat a hasty retreat to the car and grabbed this quick blip.

I'm sure the restaurant customers had a good laugh at my antics. I arrived trying to look cool, sophistocated, and professional and fled looking 'hang dog' and green about the gills.
