hobble is on a distinguished road
Default suicidal swans

a mate of mine told me the other day he crossed a swan in the boat.
after a few seconds the bird lauched itself out of the water a bit like the pheonix from the ashes,
both visibly shocked the angler reckoned the bird was on a suicidal mission, either him or the boat was getting it,
funny

That's exactly my point...........Seeing it's in the "Fly tying section" maybe he caught the swan and plucked it, "I said plucked" used the feathers for his flies....
