I haven't taken many photos lately for some reason, and many that I've taken have been things I've done all too many times before, which I won't bore you with. Here's a few others - behind a cut because one of them is another canal panorama and very wide.



A coot's nest, on an old tyre (used to fend off boats) on the canal

Some of the hundreds of geese I saw around the Round Pond a couple of weeks ago

Canal panorama, some interesting urban decay.

Shame those canal front properties have fallen to ruin, that looks like an interesting location to have had a business.

Heh. Love the way geese always strut around like they own everything in sight.

I think that may still be a working business - there's an industrial estate beyond the building, this is part of it. It was very hot that day, which I think is why the doors were all open, my guess is they couldn't be arsed to clean off the grafitti because customers don't see it.

Geese are cool. Still think coots are my fave birds though.

We don't have coots up here, but we do have moorhens which I think are pretty close.

Used to be loads of them too, but then for a couple of years running they established their nests too close to the waterline and late spring floods wiped them out. And now they've all vanished, haven't seen a single one in years.

I took some bread out with me today and fed some geese and coots - intense rivalry between them, with the geese hissing at the coots and the coots sqeaking at the geese, and a lot of flapping and lunging.
