A walk to, along the river and back via the doc's and Gheluvelt Park, followed by a walk to the laundry (and back), Worcester: Friday, 30th October, 2020.

 

Dad and three cygnets have spotted us and are on the way.

Rosie (and a fair proportion of Mary).

They're hungry.

Skyscape.

Along Pitchcroft.

Sabrina half-Bridge through the autumnals.

Repeats delivered.

First walk thru' Gheluvelt Park for months.

Mum is back in the park to reclaim her territory.

No sign of the other two cygnets tho'.

She's hungry an' all.

Always good to see Tuco again.

Walk to the river, along it, and back, Worcester: Thursday, 29th October, 2020.

 

We've been spotted and the swans are on the way.

Just the father and three cygnets today.

Everybody benefits.

Carol reports that the mother is now back in the park.

Perhaps the other two cygnets are with her?

A few grains of seed washed down with river water.

Walking along Pitchcroft.

On a hedge. 

In a car park.

Glad that's over.

Walk to the river via the laundry aand back, Worcester: Tuesday, 27th October, 2020.

 

Tuco (spelling?).

Named after the ugly one in 

The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly.

Bit unfair.

One cygnet downstream.

Presumably the rest of the family are there.

Mum is not here.

There's no sign of her anywhere today.

Very odd.

All scoffed in a few seconds.

Skyscape.

Pitchcroft outward bound.

Looks like this will be the week the missing half of 

the Sabrina Bridge returns, or the remaining half is 

taken away, or both.

Workmen actually working on Sabrina half-bridge.

Pitchcroft inward bound.

Afternoon walk to and along the river and back, Worcester: Monday, 26th October, 2020.

A lot of those this afternoon.

Shimmering.

Skyscape.

Heron.

More of the same.
