    We look a little stroll in the park yesterday and saw these. Spring must certainly be on the way.

    Ta Zigs.

    Annie— wow, that is great that you can see one. They are common here. There are different types, but this is the one we see most often. Their courtship “dance” is something to see.
    They are fun to watch down on the harbour below us.

    Pac— hose are exotic creatures !

    We took a little stroll in the park and that pair of greens have increased to eight pair. Additionally, there is one pair of kuifeend (tiffed duck) — the first of the season, and a pair of greylag goose.

    The doves are cooing
