Apparently there’s some sort of dog-centric event on in #VictoriaPark this morning.
There are, conservatively, 500 #dogs in the park - exactly 499 more than I am comfortable with.
They’re all “just being friendly”.
They’re all in urgent need of a 💩.
Their owner all prefer extendable leaches meaning the paths are #OutOfBounds to everyone else.
One of the dogs is painted #pink.
I’m going home… 😖

Messing around in the #studio again.
This time it’s a sheep’s #skull, #plastic #roses and a #CrystalBall.
We’re all relatively sane… honest 🤪🤷♂️

A first for me; this #GreyHeron landed in #VictoriaPark with an #eel for lunch. Probably caught in the adjacent #Connswater #river it played with the eel for a couple of minutes then swallowed it.
Great to watch!

This time last year…
A very #confused #LongTailedTit trying to figure out why the intruder in his territory only appeared on the #StainlessSteel #footbridge in #VictoriaPark.

Taken a couple of years ago, this acrobatic #HoodedCrow in one of the pine trees still amazes me.

Another couple of shots from earlier this year.
A very confused Long Tailed Tit, defending its territory from its own reflection on the Sam Thompson Bridge in Victoria Park and a rare close encounter with a Common Sandpiper at WWT Castle Espie Wetland Centre.

The Sam Thompson Bridge in East Belfast, from Airport Road to Victoria Park.
High tide and the Connswater River is as calm as a millpond.

“Stormont Supporter”
A low-angle on the bronze bench seats around the Carson Statue on the Avenue leading up to Stormont Buildings in East Belfast.
It took me years to notice these little sculptures hiding in plain sight.
