Spring my be the traditional time for falling in love - but in my opinion some young couples pick some very strange places to set up their love nests.
Take these two who I nearly trod on during yesterday's walk.
But even more risky is the home chosen by a pair of swans. If we walk through our village and down on to the canal and the Kingfisher Trail you come across these two who have made their nest on a little patch of ground in the middle of a housing estate.
The lady swan - on the right - is already sitting on her nest and her fella is keeping guard. I wisely kept my distance. Swans are beautiful but I wouldn't want to frighten them or make them cross.
The Lady Of The House tells me this couple have nested here for a few years now and local people keep their eye out for them to make sure they are left in peace.
Personally I prefer my home comforts at the end of a walk. I'm glad I don't have to live outside.
