Nesting, a photo by webmink on Flickr.
I spent a half-day walking around the centre of Amsterdam following a speaking engagement. I can never decide how I feel about this city.
It's a place with many scenes of great beauty - water, trees, long vistas with distant vanishing points, interesting and colourful buildings. Yet at the same time, there's so much that's ugly - prostitutes and the men looking for them, clouds of skunk-smelling smoke from seedy cafes and equally seedy passers-by, over-dense human population and the mess that accompanies it, endless junk food served by people with scorn for their customers.
Will her cygnets be unable to breed if they can't find garbage to nest in?
