Steven the Seagull almost had a sparrow for breakfast the other day, the poor sparrow only wanted a drink and it almost cost him his life ! Steven's predatory instincts are undiminished, you can see why I worry about new ducklings being anywhere near seagulls !
We are on the coventry canal in our narrowboat. Just outside Hartshill, where we moored for the night, a pair of adult swans with twelve big healthy and squeaky adolescent cygnets in tow came a-begging at the cratch for bread! And they were all around the following morning. I've not seen twelve before.
ReplyDeleteBrilliant ! I've not seen 12 with one pair either ! They must be getting used to hand outs from boat owners.
