Oct. 3 (UPI) -- A black swan that took up residence in a British town is being relocated after attempting to drown some of the native mute swans.
Cyril Bennis, volunteer swan warden for the town of Stratford-upon-Avon, famous as the birthplace of William Shakespeare, said locals were initially excited by the presence of the Australia-native black swan in the town.
Bennis said the swan got along with the native mute swans at first, and locals dubbed him Reggie.
"Everyone was coming to Stratford to see the black swan. On the one hand, it was great. On the other hand, it caused a bit of nervousness in a sense, because we didn't want it to settle in and we didn't want it to get too familiar with our mute swans," he told The Independent.
