In the middle of this busy City we are fortunate to have a vast expanse of green called The Common.
Its both lovely and ...not so lovely. As is the way of inner city parklands.
Its rather beautiful in places, and its heavenly to be so close to such a dog walking, kite flying, bike riding, {husband} running, Mecca. But its often vandalised in parts, and is just a little tiny bit scary in the quieter areas. That could just be me tho...!
Today Miss Daisy and I went to feed the ducks.
Or mostly the swans as you can see! Daddy swan is a huge bully, chasing off tiny ducklings, big dogs and everything in between, so these 'not so' little guys get well fed.
Mummy Swan, on the other hand, is beautiful, calm and sweet tempered...
The babies have all survived. eight. all now this funny stage of neither baby nor adult.
I got to stroke and fuss one of them. soooo fluffy!
These lil guys had to sneak around the back of us to get some bread without daddy swan noticing. We fed the robins too. And by default the rat family. mmmm. Who brought out their babies to show us. nice. It was about then we left...!!!
