Hoping To Be Fed

As I sat by the river, this almost adult cygnet whizzed across the water and gave me a lovely display on  the tow path. I liked the way the late afternoon sun shone through it's wings. This area is near the children's playground and where they come to feed the birds but I didn't have anything today and felt a bit mean. We are advised by a notice, not to give them bread but maybe oats, lettuce, sweetcorn or peas.
