Swans being fed at Oxford Island

As promised from yesterday, I would finish the post from Oxford Island by showing you the Swans being fed by ‘Moi’ and being videoed with my camera by one of my bird class, Ronnie.  Thanks Ronnie.



These Swans were very pleased to see me 
as I had brought food with me for them.



This is part of the bird group and Ronnie in the front trying to explain 
to this Swan that I had no more food for it.



These are 2 of my bird class, Derek and Deidre trying to teach this Swan the Hokey Pokey!  You put your right foot in, your right foot out!!    Well Derek does not seem to know his right from his left!!!  Even the Swan does!!!


This is a Muscovy Duck.


I do believe the Muscovy Duck has had his way with these Mallard's Mother!  
There is a Coot to the left.
