Some delightful words and a picture from Louise Thomas.

Some delightful words and a picture from Louise Thomas.
"Those with delicate sensibilities look away and stop reading now. For the rest of you, this is one of the most bizarre things I've ever seen. Two black swans/kakīānau (Cygnus atratus) were doing their whole love dance that they do, with the twining necks and head bobbing (I have much nicer photos than this one - but this is the funny one), they finished with some post-coital celebratory honking. Suddenly, out of nowhere, a male greylag goose zoomed in and starting joining in with his own loud honking, while swimming around the loving couple - it quite put the poor old male swan off his stride. He wound up nipping the goose on the bottom to get him to go away - it quite ruined the mood."

Was thinking of a solution to my problem with my unwelcome visitor.
If the parents of the ragdoll or birman living near Eastview Grove could make contact - maybe we could arrange some times that you will keep your cat inside so that my Lucy can have that time outside please. She is having a very difficult time being inside all the time. Your kitty is always there and my kitty finds her very scary. I can’t even leave my door open whilst getting the mail or bringing in The groceries - my house seems to be a magnet. I have secured the cat door but any other opening there is the cat is there!!
Please could you contact me?? 0275255720.

If anyone reading this and knows where the ragdoll lives, or who the owners are could you please alert them to our problem.
Thanks.
