That's a funny looking pigeon

Having had dinner, breakfast, dinner, breakfast over the past 3 days, and somehow lost a chunk of Sunday down the back of the sofa, the first order of business on Monday was a walk in the sunshine to reset our internal clocks, and at least 1 lunch.

The park next to the Chinese Friendship Garden is well supplied with cafes. And wherever there are cafes, there are pigeons (and, if you're anywhere near the sea, gulls demanding bugers with menaces). The pigeons here look a little unusual.

(There are also actual pigeons, queuing behind the ibises for crumbs. They are the mankiest looking pigeons I have ever seen - even by the standards of manky city pigeons. No sign of bumblefoot, but every single one looks as if it's fallen into a pan of chip fat.)

Spent the afternoon exploring Darling Harbour, reading menus for future reference, playing on the science platform, and fantasy shopping for boats at the naval museum.Meer informatie
