they keep tapping because people have always fed them from Thier boats... I have met many people who keep bags or corn to feed the swans..and ducks. they should not do this they will get used to people feeding them .. and forget how to find food for themselves... many years ago I had a family of ducks that used to get on the front of the boat every time I started the engine ... people used to ask if they were pets .??? as soon as ducklings were able to fly of they went.. strange . but to be honest the only part I did not like was having to clean up the mess they left.. anyway Trev stay safe and well mate

I know about the feeding bit, they have learned to associate boats with food. I do not normally feed them. I did throw a few crusts in when I filmed that, just to hold them in one place whilst I filmed.
