When out on a filed trip, cameraman Ewan Wilson spots a familiar sight for a British adventurer, a mother swan! Excited to see this beautiful animal and her babies he decides to get up close and personal with the bird and film her with his go pro. However Ewan did not read the animals body language and there for did not know what the swan was thinking.

The swan unexpectedly strikes the cameraman with a surprisingly fearsome jab attack, hitting the cameraman's go pro with a powerful strike. Instantly the cameraman backed off and descied to put the camera away for the day.

"The swan was defending here goslings (babies) and was quite brave to attack. I am a probably 50-60kg heaver than her and she still came in with the attack. In my opinion this is an example of an extremely brave mother! Iv learned my lesson" Says Ewan the cameraman.
