One thing I love about birds that’ll take food from my hand is that I can often feel their feathers. Greylag geese are soooo soft. 🥹

The greylags were back this morning. Been a few weeks since their last visit. I hope they’ll stop by more often! 😊

Ooooh so I was wrong about this sweetie! Turns out Alice is a young male! He has also travelled a little bit further than Richard and Elise, who were ringed in the city.

From early January, another lovely interaction between Richard and Elise. 🥰 And greylags! I do see them along this stretch of river sometimes, but they’re not frequent visitors. Quick to realise I had food and were obviously used to people. Haven’t seen them since. Hope they visit again soon!

Richard is a loaf now. He was very fluffy yesterday. Elise was also pretty fluffy.

I love this silly swan. 🥹 Managed to get a photo of her (I think. Hoping the report will be able to tell me) BTO ring. She just kept nibbling at my hand looking for food, making it easy to keep her still while I took the pic! 🤣

Unfortunately my being greeted by this sweet swan was interrupted by my finger being in frame while I was adjusting the camera… 😅 She then shoved her bill in my hand looking for more snacks. 🤭

Oh no! I think that’s Richard and Elise! 😂 www.eveningnews24.co.uk/news/2493539... I wish I could get a better look at the photos to see the colour ring to confirm.

Surprisingly gentle mute swan. I don’t typically let them eat out of my hand because the are very grabby and I get enough scrapes from the odd nip! 😂 But this one has pretty good aim.

At the time I posted this I actually hadn’t seen this pair of Egyptian geese in a while. The video is from 18th December, and they stopped showing up soon after. Others showed up, but I have really missed my original pair. 😭

Oh! Where’d you get that extra wing, Richard? 😳

Gotta love accidentally finding synergy potential in Balatro. Negative Tag gave me Vampire while I had Midas Mask. Now I’m obsessed with trying to get this combo again and some other Jokers I want to try with it…

Advice for restful activities that came with the form for ME assessment/referral suggests watching nature. I don’t disagree, but they haven’t met Richard. Or most of my swan friends, to be honest… 😅

Remembered this was a thing on Wii U. m.youtube.com/watch?v=-AdV... Description claims it works with VR, so will be checking that out. There’s an amazing eagle video. If I can enjoy watching these geese in the same way… Amazing.

This is so cute! I hope they meet their goal! 😍 www.kickstarter.com/projects/186... #pigeons

The Egyptian geese are always a delight to see. Their eagerness for food makes for fun interactions. 🥰

Richard got annoyed at the Egyptian goose again. At least he dodged this time! Although Elise did grab him by the head earlier. 😅 And then straight into chasing off one of his own kind. Very territorial birds.

Elise approves of Richard’s method for dealing with pesky gulls.

Finished watching Silo today and damn I cannot wait for season 3! ... Whaddya mean season 2 only just came out? 😰

“Felt cute. Might bite you later IDK.”

“Food! Now!” *bites coat* Richard being his usual self. 😂

She's on my foot again! 😂 I'm gonna refer to her as "Grace" from now on. Swans are graceful. The first letter of her colour ring is a "G". And she's always ungracefully stepping on my feet. Swans are not always graceful. 😅

Just Richard having a nip at Elise. I promise these two are a pair! 😅

I haven’t posted any of my Canada goose clips here! This needs immediate correction. Listen to that sweet, soft honking. 🥹 I need to go visit these guys again soon.
