If yes, when? Would love to hear back from you.

Can't think why they left the Black Swan here for so long and allowed him to settle in. I do hope he reasserts his will. We miss him. Meanwhile I will go up to RP occasionally and say hello to him, though I don't like being there because seeing the captive birds makes me unhappy.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-29063352500425419032016-01-03T20:26:10.894+00:002016-01-03T20:26:10.894+00:00What?!

I hope he will do as the white pelicans which are kept in a natural park here do - no matter how many times they are captured and taken back to the pond they are supposed to be in, they always manage to find their way back to the largest pond (the one with all the large ornamental perches, of course). I hope he comes back to Hyde Park.<br />Lovely picture of the Longtaily!TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-88146049892820446762016-01-03T19:36:15.715+00:002016-01-03T19:36:15.715+00:00He's a moody bird.He's a moody bird.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-42115917553477189182016-01-03T19:25:34.029+00:002016-01-03T19:25:34.029+00:00I saw the Black Swan in Regent's Park today, i...I saw the Black Swan in Regent's Park today, in the channel leading off from the main lake.
