Sled Lane Pond
Whilst out on Sunday with Howdon Blogger we came by chance on Sled Lane pond. There were a number of people feeding the Mute Swans. In close attendance were Coot, Moorhen, Mallard and in the wings waiting there turn Black Headed Gulls, all with there sights on a bit of grub. However also on the pond were some Goldeneye but the thought of a slice of Hovis never crossed their minds. What do you think?
In a while there may be the patter of tiny webbed feet but will they be their MOTHERS PRIDE.

Well John, you certainly take the biscuit (or should that be loaf?)! It's lovely to watch these birds on the water, especially in Spring and Summer when they have all their little babies gliding behind them.... like a little flotilla. :)
ReplyDeleteLovely photos.
p.s. The last two photos are comical with the bird speeding off. I'm not sure if the advancing bird is 'after a bit of crumpet' or just wants all the Hovis to itself! :O)
ReplyDeleteIt looks like i've got competition here. I am going straight up to Sainsbury's now to check out the bakery dept. to come back with some worse ---buns sorry puns.

John,
ReplyDeletenext time we are out I will show you how to get the girls to worship you and you can show me how to (thinking about it dont need to be shown anything with the exception of how to be a better photographer, recognise birds better and I could go on but....and have to go to bed at 11pm).

Buns! lol :O) I bet you have no problems John.... we women love blokes with a good sense of humour. ;)
ReplyDeleteLol at the other John. The girls must worship him because he makes sure he gets his beauty sleep! :)
