The last shot of the mute swan family is shown above. On our way back into Shoreham, I took a couple of shots of pigeons under the bridge.
Maybe these should have been taken on manual not auto mode, they might have been bright enough to see clearly then.
But, that ended my trip last weekend, so here is a Naboo shot from 2023 before I get onto my next April 2024 trip with Liz.
But first, we had stormy weather, and pigeon breeding season had begun - so I took a shot of a poorly wood pigeon on the tree outside the coffee lounge window, watching the Tibetan prayer flagds flapping in the wind and me inside.
He has later been seen regarding the prayer flags and me but with a partially broken beak. I suspect that after a storm drenching, his young have gobbled so fastidiously that they broke their parents bill - otherwise he swerved into something solid to avoid a cat-pounce.
The next excursion we took was a Walk thru the bluebell infested woodlands to WWT Arundel. After lunch, we spotted the 2 female pelicans.
Apparently, they are discussing with Bristol zoo to obtain a male pelican so they can bring multiplication to the pelican enclosure. These geese have been multiplying, however.
I hope that pigeon's broken beak doesn't cause him pain or difficulty eating.
