When we are not doing anything out of the ordinary on Sundays, and the weather is nice enough, VH like to go for a stroll in the park and along the river Thames, looking at/feeding the ducks, geese and swans. The way they beg for food reminds me a little of my dog Sky. The Canadian goose above was particularly vocal today; whereas the other birds didn't make any sounds, this particular goose knew how to shout! Nevertheless, the other birds were good at asking for food in quieter ways.
I always like the birds that are a bit different. Last week, there was a small very strange looking brown bird with big eyes, and I hoped to see it again today. Although we didn't, we saw a bird which I later identified as a
tufted duck. It stayed away from the other birds, and the food.

I can't wait to see birds again... they are just starting to come back! haha
ReplyDeleteI had to peer at that pic of the duck to work out what it was. I couldn't quite see it, if you know what I mean.
ReplyDeleteI do miss an English park. It's all very well being surrounded by natural beauty but I do like a tailored surround sometimes.
Shop Girl - That's a shame you don't get birds all year around!
ReplyDeleteFrench Fancy - I didn't realise that the duck was camouflaged! I love English parks too, although they do get very crowded. There are lovely parks in Paris too!
