Seen this Swan to-day at Spey Bay, looked as if it was eating the gorse flower heads. Sorry about the bad picture, it was a fair distance away. I dogi-sciped this one.

I don,t believe I,m doing this but I,m to honest .The Swan that I thought was acting a bit odd, has miraculously changed in to a polythene sheet or something ,god only knows how it managed to do that.Miracles do happen.

At least I knew where I left it. Delia.

Odder still that it was a piece of polythene eating the gorse flower heads and not a swan
