The River Severn & City centre, Worcester: Thursday, 30th July, 2020.

Swans know the rattle of a swan food container
when they hear one.

All gone on a couple of minutes.

At the hairdressers.

Swans and bees, Pitchcroft and Gheluvelt Park, Worcester: Wednesday, 29th July, 2020.

Swans are on the river today.....

......and they're hungry.

Bumble bees are still working hard to save our planet.......

........whilst people do their level best to destroy it.

Evening meal:
Chicken, mushroom, and onion
balsamic salad
(apologies if we have already featured this favourite).

Into town and back, Worcester: Tuesday, 28th July, 2020.

Masks on in town.

Masks off out of town.

Some familiar shapes ahead.

Dad's with them but there are only five cygnets.

The youngest cygnet (the one that gets bullied) is
safe on the far side of the river.

A quick shake of the swan food should do the trick.

The swan sanctuary says we should give the youngest
cygnet the most food, so that's what we do.

Big Shop, Droitwich, and Pitchcroft, Worcester: Monday, 27th July, 2020.

Here we go again.

Bit wet out there Vic?

Swans are on the river today.
No sign of Dad of course.

A slightly damp walk, Pitchcroft and Gheluvelt Park, Worcester: Sunday, 26th July, 2020.

Narrow boats keeping an adequate social distance.

No sign of 'our' swans today.
These will be the lucky recipients then.

M & S hazlenut, you say?
Too good to store.
Keep 'em coming.

River Severn and Blackpole: Saturday, 25th July, 2020.

Swans are on the river today with some ducks
(and seagulls, thankfully, just out of shot).

We need a few extras this week.

That's more than a 'few' Vic.

The colour purple, Pitchcroft and Gheluvelt Park, Worcester: Friday, 24th July, 2020.

Bumble bee on a thistle.

No sign of 'our' swans, so these are the
ones to benefit today.

Got any nuts?

M & S brazil nut to be precise.
That'll do.

Ducks get the remaining swan food.

Thistles without a bumble bee.
