It was meant to be raining today, but it wasn’t, so as Danny was nagging to go ’somewhere’, I persuaded my dad to take us to Roath Park Lake.  I have blogged about this park and lake before as it’s a regular favourite to go for a walk.

All the birds seemed to have spring fever.  As soon as we got out of the car we spotted two swans busily pulling twigs out of the water and piling them up ready to make a nest, of course once I was in a position to take a photo they’d stopped doing it.  I spotted a few pairs of swans doing this, there was also quite a few amorous looking pigeons.

There was lots of ducks and geese having naps on the grass, you can see this one opened one eye as I got closer.

I never feed the birds at the Lake, as, to be honest, I’m a bit scared to.  This is what happens.

You get completely surrounded, and some geese and swans can get quite vicious.  I had one stood right next to me hoping I had some food.

He walked off as soon as I wanted to take his photo.

Tree Hugging

As we were walking down the path towards the play area, I spotted something moving in the undergrowth, and a sort of cheeping noise.  It was this little chap.

I got an even closer photo, but the camera focused on the leaves rather than the Robin.

There was another Robin just up the path, I think they were together.

Eventhough the sun was out, it was really cold.  Over the last week we’ve got used to having warmer weather,  hopefully it won’t be too long before it returns.
