Albert Village Lake is well known for turning up good gulls, but my wife and I went there on Sunday and it was (with no exaggeration), in places, impossible to take a step on the main paths without treading in the residue of dog mess! Revolting doesn't cover it! Then there are the people that, in some ways, are even worse because they know exactly what they are doing - these are the people that bag it up when they think that someone's watching, and then toss the bag into the hedge when they think that no one's watching! I'm afraid that bad dog owners are giving the good ones a bad name.Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-83597812298761865562012-11-15T12:28:23.706+00:002012-11-15T12:28:23.706+00:00Great Goldcrest images especially given the light ...Great Goldcrest images especially given the light etc. As a dog owner i too hate the mess left behind by bad owners and those horrible plastic bags. Conkers sounds brilliant, wish more places would adopt a no dog policy, I as a dog owner would prefer places just for dogs, fenced off etc like they have in the USA, great idea.Douglas Mcfarlanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12267360351215643395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-21511039081556585222012-11-15T09:40:09.223+00:002012-11-15T09:40:09.223+00:00Yes John, they're a favourite of mine too.

Always a joy to see though as, in spite of their head-on miserable appearance, they always seem such happy birds - or maybe that's just me!Richard Peglerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05115206853645323899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-12016754117041181622012-11-15T07:40:45.155+00:002012-11-15T07:40:45.155+00:00Great captures Richard,one of my favourite little ...Great captures Richard,one of my favourite little Birds.<br />You win first prize,Gold.<br />John.JRandSuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13578266188930995611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300766267906463889.post-31333608399842308972012-11-15T07:19:52.388+00:002012-11-15T07:19:52.388+00:00Hi Richard
