Today I saw 4 black swans on the sea near our house. They are not rare or anything but I had never, ever seen them there before and I felt so happy and privileged. Any unusual sightings of wildlife, birds or animals, where you live?
It was many years ago, and I have posted this story before, so apologies if I bore anyone.
In my teens, I lived with my parents in a flat in the centre of town. One night, around 1am, something woke me and when I went to the window, I saw about 5 elephants walking through the Market Square! Good job I was too young to drink at the time!
I found out that a circus was camped on the outskirts of the town and the elephants were being taken for a swim in the sea. Apparently this was impossible to do in the day because of traffic and inquisitive people running out to ask questions of the keepers. It was quite a sight, and especially sweet was the baby elephant at the rear who was holding on to the tail of the fully grown elephant in front. Those were the days!
