My next solo hike was up Swillage Lane for a brief wander. I passed Goggles on his lake, hanging out with the mallard family and a bunch of other ducks sunbathing...
On my way home, there was Goggles again!
HERE
is a link to an interesting article.
Oh, there is Goggles - I must have taken another woodland stroll. A young wood pigeon preens on top the telegraph pole....
...before I turn to return homeward - passing Goggles again.
HERE is a link to an article about swan behaviour. I found this interesting - as I have witnessed Bewick swans getting upset and a bit hissy when mute swans have been in the pond over the pathway from them... but then I have not met Bewick meets Bewick other than the 'partners' or partners with their kids.
Goggles seems to be kind of a lone wolf.
ReplyDeleteThe swan link didn't work, but I found the article: https://www.wwt.org.uk/news/2020/08/18/swans-reserve-aggression-for-each-other-new-research-has-found/19233
