On Friday I took my bairn to feed the ducks at Hollyrood park. Just imagine his wee face as a mummy duck proudly swims by with 8 of the cutest, fluffiest lil ducklings you've ever seen! Knowing what it's like to be a proud new parent I make sure every single bit of bread gets chucked in their direction for a good feed. What happened next will haunt me forever. A flock of vicious seaguls spy the bread in the water and swoop down, stealing the grub from the ducklings. Nasty bastards, I think to my self. Just then the mammy duck goes absolutely. I look over to see two seagulls tearing a duckling clean in half. Another gull flys off with a baby duck. One bites off a newborn's head with one swoop. It's carnage. After only about a minute. Mummy duck, is left with no babies only a few soft, soft feathers to remember them by. I honestly think I saw her shed a tear. Seriously, the guilt is killing me. I had to get that off my chest.
When was the last time you felt guilty? Spill the beans.

Saw a squirrel get knocked down in front of a bloke with his wee boy. Concerned father was trying to careful reassure the boy and usher him away but the boy just wanted to prod it to see if it was really dead. I think his dad was more upset than he was.
Did see the last of a row of ducklings knocked own crossing a road once. The um was clearly a bit upset. Cretin that did it could have missed it easily!!!
