Swans get mown down by rowing boat...probably

On a recent trip to Bedford I noticed that the poor Swans on the Great Ouse were getting harassed by the onrush of rowing boats rowed at great pace into their tranquility.

So I whipped out my new phone - a Samsung E840 - to record this event. However, the default settings for recording mode on my new phone are "Limit for multimedia" and not "for full memory." Hence only 6 seconds of footage cut off at the vital moment.

So basically this film is a warning to make sure your recording facilities are on the correct settings!
