Whilst in Marlow visiting previously mentioned mum, I forget to tell you about a few little confidential chats I had….
First there was Cecilia….

“There’s someone new in town and I’m not sure if he is one of us or not!” whispered Cecilia conspiratorially!
Who was she talking about?
Then Sandy Orangetop sidled up to me…

“I’m the only one who’s a bit different round here….what’s his game?” snarled Sandy in a most pompous way!
Something was ruffling feathers I could tell!
Then Greta came up and appeared most confused…

“He looks very like the other swans but there’s something about him….I don’t know what it is? He just seems a bit different! What should we do-what should we do?” gabbled Greta in a breathless sort of way!
And then I saw him…..
And rather like yesterday’s Robin, he looked this way
and that…..

“Oh dear oh dear!” said Seaton! “I had my tail feathers blow dried especially for today and still no one will talk to me!”
What a beautiful black swan!
Oh happy day for me!
Seaton was very lonely until good old Gunther Gull got everyone’s attention ….

“Birds of the River!” shouted Gunther, “Seaton is no different to the rest of you! I’m ashamed that you won’t speak to him…for goodness sake, sort yourselves out, remember your manners and ask him if he wants to play ‘Duck and Dive’ with you!”
Fortunately this is what happened…..
One last thing- this isn’t a very good picture, but I had to take it fast….
I had no idea he had any white bits on him at all!
Isn’t he beautiful!
That’s All!
See Ya xx
