There is what they call a Swan Sanctuary, which I wasn’t aware of. These birds are wild birds, and the stretch of the river is open for any bird to come and go as they want, but they obviously quite like it there. It’s very close to the centre of the city, just a 5min walk or so.

um 2 Jan 7:14pm, 2 Jan 2025 9,174 posts	0 um There was a group of 8 fairly mature bucks. They couldn't really have cared less that I was slowly following them, and as you can see, gave me fairly disdainful looks if I did encroach too close. Although the low sun and shade in the woods made things a bit tricky. Full set (about 100 out of 400 pics) will be in my blog in a day or two. Although my fingers were frozen, much of the focus and shooting was happening too soon because I couldn't feel the shutter button.
