Since we 'discovered' Swan Lake back in summer, it's become a favourite spot to head out for a short walk, so we thought it was time to share it with our grandson.
Somehow we'd remembered the paths as flat and easy, but pushing a buggy up an old railway bank proved us wrong.
Other than that little blip, the paths were easy as many of them are cycle routes so require a good surface
As we started out, the sky was blue and the sun warm (considering the time of year)
but as we wandered further the sun disappeared behind clouds
and the crisp autumnal leaves were replaced by the murky water of the old canal - suitable spooky for Halloween!
Returning to the car park by the lake, we encountered a feeding frenzy. The birds here expect ALL visitors to have brought food and this time they were in luck.
Seagulls were being the noisiest and making most fuss, but the Canada geese look more determined! I hope something was left for the smaller birds - ducks and coots - but I suspect not.
