A short stopover at Black Mountain Peninsula yesterday to introduce Sophia to Black Swans and whatever. A pair of Swans were feeding on what I first thought would be grass. Turns out they were specifically eating dandelion flowers. Then, ignoring the grass, would readily take hand feeding of dandelion flowers. May be ordinary but I had not noticed that before. I thought it would be nice to take one home and reduce the need for me to mow the lawn. Philip |
