Day 24 - 30 Days Wild - Urban wildlife & Foxy is back!

Day 24 and once again we had a foxy visitor in the early hours - 3:37am to be exact, he (or she) was enjoying some peanuts we had put down the night before. The camera is great and has many features that we need to master...one of the best wildlife gadgets we have bought to date.

In our lunch break we once again ventured around the city, this time Swansea Marina - Earlier in the month we had seen cormorants on the waters so we were hoping to see them once more.

Around the marina all we could see were mostly seagulls and pigeons.

As we walked around the Marina we started to see a few other birds, including one mallard and a solitary swan,

Near the sail bridge (where we originally saw the cormorants) were numerous amounts of seagulls - herring and black back gulls.

Not far from them, on a walkway near Sainsbury's, we spotted someone feeding the pigeons - there were loads of them!

Lots of them!

Then the seagulls came in for some lunch!

There were a few other birds trying to get some food - sparrows, starlings and a beautiful young carrion crow. But the majority of birds today were definitely pigeons!

The pigeons! There's no escaping them :)
