still hanging around.
this one is getting more wary now and i dont blame it.saw 4 dogs at different times but within 20 minutes run and attack the swans,geese,ducks any birds while the owner walked on.one lady walked passed as her dog nearly gripped a young swan,my erin said thats a bad dog gran i said within ear shot not so much a bad dog erin but a bad owner.i was giving the dog owner my evil eye she paid no attention until the parent swans started to attack her dog then she shouted on it.this is a local park here so glad it is not my local pond.i am a dog owner and lover,just some people i dont like with dogs.i might add their were more people with dogs respecting the birds but it only takes a few idiots just wish those idiots had answered my remarks but think their oblivious and live in their own worlds.sorry long story again.

Three great up loads Mags. Like yourself I'm a dog owner and lover and I also get annoyed at the way some dog owners let their dog behave.
 
Very well done Margaret. I see the same at Te Awanga, dog owners letting them run wild, when they should be on a lead.

You had beautiful light on the water today Margaret. Rather a nice day, wasn't it.

A lovely picture.
 
Great colourful setting with that water, Margaret. Some people don't see birds as individuals; they just see them as "things". Nothing you can do, it's how their brains are wired
