They're no harm to it, and neither are the goslings' parents.<br /><br />Black Swan yoga is the best kind of yoga.TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-78774221270905012372020-05-16T21:35:55.275+01:002020-05-16T21:35:55.275+01:00I can't work out where the Sandpipers and othe...I can't work out where the Sandpipers and other wading birds that occasionally turn up in the park think they're going.
