St. Albans Park

There's a cool park in St. Albans that looks a lot like a cover on of one of my alphabet books from Kindergarten--both so cool and interesting that I want to explore them. Thankfully, I can check this park out. To get there you have to walk down a cobblestone street and past Ye Olde Fighting Cocks , an 11th-century white-brick and dark-brown-wood building to get to this path that at all times has either a creek or a pond on both sides and ducks and people walking up and down it. It is a great place because it is so busy and peaceful and just beyond the mainstreet (high street) of St. Albans. (Entering the park with about 250 resident birds swimming, sleeping and eating handouts from humans)
(A glimpse at the pond on the other side of the sidewalk which goes for quite a bit further around the bend. I think of it as the Lake Harriet of Hetfordshire county because it is so busy.)

(This no-name duck and its friends had bright red eyes. Quite cute.)
(ah! Can you believe this no-name bird-duck-turkey and its pals are about the size of Canadian Geese? They acted like them too, wandering the sidewalk in packs and looking to people for food. Not cute. At all.)
