Great to see, Alan - Was there only one sygnet?

The ubiquitous Micks waiting for any chance of a feed.

Why do well call pigeons Micks? Always called them that from as far as I can remember.

I think it may be Irish/Liverpool for a pigeon?

Nice pics Alan. Guess that area is where the pedestrian bridge goes when in use. Cheers

Lovely Alan, long time since I have seen swans on our canal. Loads of Canada Geese though.
