BIRD NEWS:369 & Darwin

My next excursion was to Worthing, with the aim of attending the chili fiesta that is usually held in Shoreham. I was not extremely impressed with the Worthing version, as there were less stalls and the vegetarian curry cart I had been looking forward to dining from did not show up. I wandered around the streets a little also, and found a pigeon to photograph.

I ended up buying a tub of vegetarian Thai flavored rice noodles from the noodle bar and sitting in a shelter on the beachfront to eat lunch - and found a bunch of old pals. Long time readers may recall Worthing used to bring about shots of 'the beach gang' - well, here are the present gang.

That last shot is of one of the old members who remembered me! He came up to see if I had any seed or crumbs - but alas, hot and spicy noodles were not suitable to share.

Some encountered geese and ducks that inhabit the Swillage Pond that I pass on my way to various hikes I have recently taken have as yet eluded my camera, as I have not taken it with me on these walks. I intend to trot down to the pond at some point in the next few weeks with the sole purpose of taking a few shots to share of these birds, though. For the time being, let me introduce them as white ducks, colored ducks, mallards and geese of some sort.
