Eyeing up the Prize

Hello Hello to all Hivians and indeed anyone reading this.

Some of my favourite posts to write on Hive are the feathered friends posts, especially as the rewards go to buying their food in the park.

The pictures in this post were all taken on August 17th 2025. A day I know well as it was my birthday lol! Some of these pictures were used to make the lead image for this post on Canva by the author.

Birds of the Park or in this case birds of the pond!

Swans...

No you numpty not those ones...

Ok okay you mean these ones ....

Yeah, but they are fluffing miles away, they don't look very big from here.. Remember @nelinoeva said big bird!

Okay let's walk around to that side of the pond...

This year we had four babies who are growing up fast as you can see!

Mum was still keeping an eye on them though...

Dad meanwhile as in full preen mode!

King of the Pond

Molly and Martha Mallard were following the crowd...

Dad just needs a wee bit more preening

ahhhh got it!

Ready for the Prize ....

... is what prime real estate is all about

Eyeing up the bag of food

This couple are good and actually feed them proper food. The ones feeding them bread, I do have a wee word at...

I like that one as it shows how big mute swans are...

This post though, is an entry for this week's Feathered Friends - Show Me A Photo Contest Round 235 hosted by the wonderful @nelinoeva in the fantastic Feathered Friends community on Hive.

And I shall pick this one for the entry

Eyeing up the Prize
That was a tricky choice to make and a process of elimination.

I keep changing my mind lol!

Here is big Dad and his fluffing big feet!

What do you think? Was that your favourite?

Thanks for visiting and enjoy the rest of your day!
