I visited Alkrington Woods Nature Reserve, located in Manchester, in the north of England. The nature reserve is only a small area with a few lakes and wildlife such as ducks,coots, swans, and geese. I gave the local birds some wild bird food, which I do now and again if I am in the area.
The park is a nice place to hike, and the river Irk, which has been around since the 13th century, runs right through the middle of the park.
Many people use the park to fish, and others just to walk or go for a short hike. I myself just like to visit the wildlife.
I started to feed the Canadian geese with some bird food, and a few minutes later the swans came swooping in and attacked the geese.
My guess is they had a small cygnet with them, so they must have been on guard around the geese, which even many humans are, as people often hate geese, but to be honest, I always find them friendly.

@TravellerG Thanks my friend was hoping to do as much filming as possible while we have some sunny weather but looks like it is starting to rain again so will have to hope for the best.

Yes, here too (in India), it is raining & I too have made a break for my photography.
Thanks for your kind response, dear friend @WattoPhotos
@TravellerG Yer the rain can be annoying at times. If you haven’t got a Go Pro camera might be worth getting one.
They are good for filming in the water they are waterproof so I use that when the weather is raining here is an example of what I mean https://youtu.be/HFdRiJ9uyD8
