Parent or child?  Yes my little ones are as big as me and getting more like me every day....

The cygnets are a lot more recognisable... but still grown up a lot.

 We have a small flock of blackheaded gulls on the pool now (not blackheaded at present - just a little black spot on their heads as they have winter plumage)

and hedgerows of fruit - but I'll leave them for the hedgerow birds.... I'm a strickly pond weed kind of bird!
