FEEDING FRENZY
Mute swans got use to human presence at some locations in Hungary and all over the world. Moreover, they got excited and get close, because they expect food from tourists. Normally they get, even, if it is prohibited. However, it is a dangerous game: there is a really aggressive attitude hidden behind such fantastic appearance. Wherever mute swans can settle, other native birds might disappear.
So it is better NOT to feed them. Otherwise mass of them get close so much, that I did not even had to use any special hide, just got into the water and held my camera with a wide angle lens straight towards their head. So viewer might have the feeling to be in between them.
