View all photography for this entry

A lovely morning for a walk with the sun shining. I was up and about very early and it paid off, with the streets very quiet. I decided to take a walk along to the Royal Quays Marina to see what the wildlife was up to.

At the marina there were two pigeons perched on the railings enjoying the sunshine. They were happy for me to get quite close but I didn’t disturb them.

Two resident swans have built a nest on a wooden pontoon and it looks like they are incubating eggs.Let’s hope we have some cygnets soon.
