Swans in flight

01/17/2021 //  by Michelle//  Leave a Comment

Walking round the bottom of the men’s swimming pond two days ago I saw the pair of swans who are normally to be found on the boating pond setting out purposefully from the bank. But only seconds later they changed their minds and headed equally purposefully back towards me. They were obviously ambivalent about where they actually wanted to go (were they having an argument about it out there on the pond?) and continued to zigzag slowly away from me and towards the swimming area.

I watched them for a couple of minutes and was just about to give up on them when there was an energetic flapping pf wings and they both soared majestically up off the pond and over the bank to boating pond and home.

And here they are a few minutes later, back on the boating pond.

A recent casualty in Kenwood woods. I wonder what A recent casualty in Kenwood woods. I wonder what caused it to fall as we have not really had any strong winds. Mind you - those roots look as though they are oilfield not hold up a daffodil so I guess it was just waiting to happen. #walksonhampsteadheath #hampsteadheath #londonparks #lockdownwalk #hampsteadlife #londontrees #myhampsteadheath #fallentrees #kenwoodhouse @kenwood_house_hamsptead_heath
A perfect set of allotment sheds- seen in Fitzroy A perfect set of allotment sheds- seen in Fitzroy Park yesterday. More on the allotments and on the London Bowling club in my Walks blog. Link in bio. Imagine - the bowling club only had two green keepers between 1901 and 1956. The second one, Mr Gunn, did 20 years which means that Mr Henderson, the first one, did 35 years!
