I love seeing the water fowl. Swans are pretty majestic aren't they.

Swans are weird to me… as they’re a food-bird, like chickens, or pigeons, in so many of the places I’ve lived. Or maybe? More like turkey/goose just because of their size??? But I’ve spent too long in the turkey-thanksgiving-USA to really equate turkeys with almost anything else. Turkey sandwiches year round, legs at carnivals, whole bird at thanksgiving & Xmas?... I guess swans are historical feast-fare in the UK? But not modern, right??? Like people ate swans at feasts until the early 1900s, but they’re just “pretty” now?
I hope I’m not stepping on cultural toes. Cranes & Herons are sacred, where I was raised, but swans were lunch.

The remarkable reason why the Queen owns all swans in England
It's a centuries-old tradition which confuses many of us still to this day

Her Magesty DID have to go and live/rule for half of forever… I think we can be forgiven, the occasional lapse between Queen’s vs King’s.

Well. That & living in the US. (Where that’s also not actually true. Legally. Only in certain seasons, under certain conditions. Even/especially, if I kill one with my vehicle).

Sometimes, just sometimes, I really love my job. Repatriation to Ireland. The sunrise was worth the 2am alarm.
