Yes, people feed the swans (so of course the gulls get a share). Beside the loch is a caravan park and in the summer swans have been known to go and tap on a caravan door when they want food!
Perfect serenity and those swans are so graceful … kindly tolerating the gulls!😀 I hope this means you are feeling a bit stronger and able to get out a bit. hugs xx
Thanks, Annika. I try to get out every day even if it’s only for a short time (and not if it’s raining!) to get some fresh air. The side effects are lessening, though, which is positive.
Thanks, Maggie – no worries about ‘late’ to comment – the post will be there for – well, who knows, as long as WordPress is around?. I’m glad you enjoyed the images.

So many swans and gulls in your lovely winter scene! Do visitors feed them, perchance?

It doesn’t seem to take much for birds to adopt a food entitlement mentality, with behavior to match!

Lovely scene! I particularly like the trio of gulls and the rippling water.

That’s my favourite pic, too. I can imagine them gossiping to each other about all the other gulls and the swans 🙂
