Bet the gardeners won't be too impressed with its destruction!<br /><br />I think Tom's seal shows a Grey Seal with the typical Roman nose of that species.

There are literally thousands of them -- it's a very big park. They must have been doing something right, but I don't know what.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-33001394009538388412022-11-01T23:33:11.272+00:002022-11-01T23:33:11.272+00:00And did the man share his sandwich?And did the man share his sandwich?Ulrikenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-72996936456126847692022-11-01T22:56:55.555+00:002022-11-01T22:56:55.555+00:00Jackdaws are too polite for their own good.

I love their "meh" expression in the middle of a testosterone explosion.<br /><br />Striking picture of the guerrilla diver!<br />TinĂºvielAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
