Today, I completed my daily walk at Stratford-upon-Avon in Warwickshire, around the River Avon. There were a few gulls floating on the river and a couple of feral pigeons were pecking around on the river bank searching for food. There were just one or two white swans at this point sailing along the river. Suddenly, a black swan appeared and went sailing along a narrow tributary under a bridge. I followed this swan to take a photograph and I discovered this tributary had a narrow towpath running along the side.
I walked along the towpath past a few houseboats which were moored. I continued to walk under some stone bridges past some pretty gardens. I noticed a hidden allotment garden along the towpath, possibly maintained by some of the houseboat owners. I then turned and walked back to meet up with Margaret in the main tourist area.
I walked past the moored boats selling ice cream and food and I walked towards the Royal Shakespeare Theatre. I continued past several buskers. There were many people gathered in this area; a lot of schoolchildren were standing around in groups. I noticed many dog walkers were strolling with numerous breeds of dogs.
People were feeding the feral pigeons with bread and chips. Many waterfowl were gathered in the water eating the food pellets that people had tossed into the water to feed the swans. A large number of swans, Canada geese, ducks and gulls were in the water, vying for this food. I snapped a couple of photographs of the birds before I made my way to meet Margaret.
Today, I walked for 3.05 miles in 1 hour and 10 minutes.
