It took more than 2 hours from Heathrow to Bristol. After a brief settlement at my friend's home, my wife and I started to browse around this peaceful city.

Unlike HK where it is described as a forest of concrete, there are plenty of vegetation in Bristol. There's a small pond near Stapleton (a suburb area in Bristol). You can see a lot of birds there, including mandarin duck, teal, swan and others that you may not be able to name it. I think the lake is an artificial one, however, it's evident that the landscape architect tried to minimize the human footprints on this natural habitat.

Without the fear of avian flu, bird feeding is a common activity there. The people here are more friendly to wild lives. If your motions are gentle enough, the birds will become less cautious and come close to you. The bird feeds (i.e. bread) can easily be obtained from Tesco (a local chain supermarket just like Park'N Shop in HK) just a few blocks away from the pond. With discount, a loaf of bread may be as low as only GBP 1.00.
