St. James's Park: Cygnet Scene

Taking it easier in large.
Alternatives:
Sleepier and stretchier cygnet
Greylag gosling taking the crisp
Ross'sling nibbling

I couldn't decide between the goslings (the cute greylag gosling with the huge feet, or the Ross's gosling which has now reached a rather vulture-esque state with contour feathers everywhere but its head), so opted out with this sleepy natural tableau... The smaller cygnets are now huge.
The greylagling was taking prawn cocktail crisps from a tourist, which seemed all kinds of wrong, and the crows were also squabbling over them, which seemed more amusing somehow.

Others here (or right from Moulting into eclipse)
