Donald revisited

I stopped off at Gunknowe Loch this morning as I had plenty time on my way to work. Donald and his mum were there with about a dozen other adult swans, some of whom still appeared to be sleeping. There was a fine mist/drizzle and it was lovely and cool.

There has been a football out in the loch for ages that I presumed was attached to something as it never appeared to move. This morning I noticed something large and plastic which looked to me to be one of the weighted holders for a parasol/umbrella thing. However, as I drove by tonight, I realised I was wrong. Explanation blip to follow tomorrow ...........
