Precious came over to the low stone wall near the underpass, and spent about 20 minutes in a game of untying my shoelaces! The water's not terribly high there, but he can reach just enough to get a bit of neck and his head over the edge - it's perfect for him if I stand close to the edge.

He is SO funny - he'll look at it for a few seconds, then make his move - and a long tug later, it's undone. I tie it up, and he starts all over again.

After that and a bit of conversation (I tell him he's gorgeous, he snorts) and he swam off to patrol his territory.
