Yer local polling station.
Squatters in the park!
A mallard Mum and her eight ducklings
have taken over the swans nest.
So where are the swans?
The swans are coming back to the pond from a swim along the brook.
Oh no. There are only four cygnets.
Not good.
Aha! The fifth cygnet is alive and well
and taking things easy on Mum's back.
It's either the youngest or laziest we presume.
Just to confirm:
all five cygnets are present and correct.
In town and we've done a bit of shopping and
we are now at Elgars for a spot of lunch.
Vicky has a chicken panini and salad washed down
with two (count 'em) pots of darjeeling tea……
….whilst the olde-fella has stilton and broccoli soup
with a ham sammidge on granary bread washed
down with just the one pot of decaf tea.
Now for the long walk home.
Re-possessed.
The mother swan is back on her nest with wings outspread…..
…..whilst the mallard and her eight ducklings are just along the bank.
We'll keep all our fingers firmly crossed.
The sun's come out and so have most of the cygnets.
We're off home now for a rest thank you.
Fit Bit stats so far:
11,515 steps
5.43 miles
2,494 cals burnt
3 stairs.
Thank you and goodnight.
