Have you spotted any animals on your way to work, school or the shops recently?

B Natural answer

Yes, actually. On my way to work, I saw a family of ducks near the canal, and then a dog waiting near the crossing. It was a small surprise, but it made the morning feel calmer. I don't see animals every day, so I always notice them when I can.
