I went to one of the local parks yesterday. It has a small (large for a city centre) resevoir. It used to house a nice collection of ducks - pochard, goldeneye, teal, tufted duck, shoveller... They seem to have disappeared.
There were lots of mallard - presumably wild...
.... and lots of black-headed gulls - we are on the coast.
There is a pair of Whooper Swans. I think that their wings must have been clipped. Here's one of them ...
I had great difficulty in focussing. I still find the Telear a little heavy and awkward. And the birds were moving - slowly, but moving nonetheless.
In the end I resorted to flowers - the last of the honeysuckle.
