When the Heron came to lunch

After busy weeks of exploring we have kept our recent adventures closer to home. As always though our local park threw new experiences at us to enjoy. A new favourite is to feed the ducks and the pigeons (so we can then chase them obviously! Poor pigeons). What a nice surprise when the local heron came to join us as well or as the wee man says "The big one mummy". Once we had made our way through the bread stash we were quickly distracted by the sticks, dirt and feathers...Oh!..and a caterpillar. Never have my wee man's hand seemed so big till he had this little creature in his hands. He was ever so gentle and made mummy feel a little proud.

  

Chasing pigeons

After nursery this week we have been getting in some quick trips to the park. One afternoon the wee man saw a pigeon and that was it he was targeted for the rest of the afternoon. I really thought we were going to be taking this pigeon home! I wish I could have gotten the look on his face whenever the pigeon flew in the sky and he shouted "Oh no"! I felt so sorry for said pigeon, it was not the best day to be in the park. Every now and again it seemed the pigeon was going to get a break but suddenly the wee man was after it again. At one point it had landed on the roof of the cafe in what it thought was safety and maybe that my wee man would give up. My wee man! He jumped up and down shouting at the pigeon until it really decided it was time to fly well away.
