Let me out

I stood watching a swan on the River Avon in Stratford today behaving most oddly. It was on the town side of the lock gates, pacing up and down waiting for them to open. When the  tourist cruise barge came along, Mr Swan went swimming and flapping away in a fright. Eventually the lock filled up, the gates opened and the boat passed through, so the the swan took its chance and went through itself. Of course by then the gates the other end had closed so it was still stuck! Perhaps Mrs Swan was on the main river and he knew that the gates would open if he waited long enough, but he couldn't quite work out how to get to the River. I don't know why he didn't just fly!
The lock attendant said he had been doing it all day, " He doesn't know what he wants'  the man said. 
I guess we all have days like that!
