It’s nearly 8pm and we have had another enjoyable walk round the park this evening.
It is so restful when the visitors have gone home and we can amble without having to get out of people’s way.
Talking to a resident walking her dog, she was saying that she has never known the town so busy, nor the visitors so ignorant. She lives closer to the High Street than we do, though has a friend who has a static holiday caravan about a mile away who has also commented on the status and nature of visitors.
It was lovely tonight. No need for coats, just a cardy and I took the camera this time.
We are still concerned as to where all the ducklings have gone. There were so many not that long ago, and even the brood we saw the other day seem to have vanished.
Tonight we saw just one duckling, not very old and hopefully this one will thrive under the watchful care of Mum and Dad.
Coming out of the park, there were several geese along the pavement.
It was good to see one of the greylags back in the group, and this one has paired up with a Canada goose more or less since we’ve been here.
There was just one gosling in this group, which may well have been the single chick I caught with the phone camera this morning. He’d obviously had a hard day.

The gosling has a full crop and has eaten well! Hope you can watch it get big and perhaps become another one in the flock! Too bad about the ducklings. We had a pair of ducks make a nest in the neighbor’s yard behind their bushes. They managed to hatch a near dozen eggs but after a couple days they were all gone and all the neighbors had fluff in our yards… We continue to trap the feral cats but they are getting wise to the traps. 😦
He certainly looked content. We think the gulls may have got the ducklings when the weather took a bad turn.
glad you had a nice walk, Di! And got some snaps of the geese and ducks as well! ❤
You must be happy to have the C place to yourself again
Timing is paramount, so if we go out early and then later in the evening, we have a fighting chance of missing the visitors. However, doing shopping late is not such a good thing as the shelves have been stripped by 10! It will be interesting to see what is left on the shelves when we shop this afternoon.
I do hope you find everything you want.
We shall see. I have basics in reserve, so it’s just fruit and veg really.
👍
Lovely photos.
thank you
