Photo 3: someone was feeding the swans and the darter was not impressed. Photos 4 & 5 - after the swans had left. Photos 1 & 2: when the swans approached the second darter around the corner, it enteresdo the water and came up just underneath one of the swans, which sent them back from where they came.
