Less tolerant was the out-of-place and slightly bedraggled swan sitting between the burger van and the bench at Eastney whilst watching this Shag being pushed in by an incoming tide and a Common Seal going the other way ; the swan tried pulling my jacket off and hissed away whilst the freeloading Starlings thought it was worth perching on the bench just in case!! The van owner chased 'hissing Sid' off which saved me doing it - there's service for you!!
