This is a picture our Stephen took of Billy and me just a few minutes ago.

It only snows in Dublin (sticks on the ground) about once every seven or eight years, it already snowed twice in February but it'll need to fall again tomorrow to register the rarity of snowing two years in a row.Picture link to Vienna Blog 4 Feb 10 2010 Watch Post Post a comment

Top left; bottom left; top right all in the Phoenix Park

Middle right & bottom right ; in Blackrock Park

I wasn't feeling too well after a late night Friday with several of my work mates so Billy went to the Phoenix Park alone and took these pictures. The swans came straight to him when he got to the pond and they ravenously devoured best part of a whole sliced pan. The ducks got a wee bit too. Although the cygnets are growing noticeably in size from week to week there is still precious little white to be seen on their bodies which are still pretty much grey in colour while those in Blackrock Park seem to turning brown.

I include some pictures of the other swan family that Billy has been following in Blackrock Park, about 6 miles from our house. He sees them whenever he goes to pick shellfish as he did on Saturday last.
