"They're swans," replied Bubbles. "They are very elegant aren't they - despite their long necks. It's a good job they are covered in warm feathers because they'd have to have very long scarves to keep themselves warm!"
Everyone laughed. "And there's a heron!" shouted Edward as he saw a bird with a long beak and very long legs standing in the shallows. "He'll be fishing for his lunch." And, sure enough, the heron suddenly dipped his beak into the water with a splash and captured a fish.
"The trees over there have hardly any leaves left," pointed out Lizzie, "but look at the huge number of red berries!" The berries were indeed a colourful sight.
"And, look," whispered Henry. "Isn't that a blackbird feasting on them?"
The other bears stopped to look and saw the blackbird greedily picking off berries. "He'll be full up very soon at that rate!" laughed Crackers. Then another bird flew over to join in. Bubbles thought it was probably a greenfinch.
