Mute swans, many of them, were flying up and down but this one was content just to snooze!
A Black-headed Gull had a yawn... it was silent with its beak open!!
And then I watched these two male Mallards for about 15 minutes whilst battle royal ensued. One of them had a battle scar at the back of its neck from where its adversary had had its beak clamped tightly!
11 Goosanders still there, of which, only 1 was a male!
The sun had been oh so warm and with no wind, you could think it was really a Spring Day. And just as I was walking back, I'm sure I saw something akin to a butterfly fly across in front of me.
A good walk again.
