Seven Swans a Swimming

Went to Stratford on Avon today, first time for ages, we normally go most weekends as it's only about 10 miles away.

Walked down by the river, part of which is frozen - the canal boats are stuck at the moment. A few people had brought food and the birds went mad - they're obviously been a bit hungry. Lots of swans, the usual ducks and gulls and a few geese and moorhens too.

A bit spoilt for choice for a blip, I've gone for this swan pic, but nearly went for

this one

or this

Town wasn't as busy as we were expecting it to be, we thought lots of people would be shopping but maybe everyone is broke after Christmas.
