I managed quite a few photos, but didn't quite get the one I wanted BADSIO (before a dog scared it off) lol


I also managed a quick photo of a robin

In Bedfords Park I saw a fox hunting around the lake, as my battery died. By the time I got my camera up and running again I managed to snap just one ok photo

On the lake there were a number of gulls, both common gulls



and black headed gulls

And even some crows

The pair of swans had also returned to the lakes

I tried some photos of the deer in the enclosure, but I found it hard to exposure dark brown deer against a white background in bright sun! This is the best I could manage

A number of jackdaws were flying over my head too

Heading back out past the lake I noticed a kestrel hovering and then it landed. I looked across and there was a dog moving up the other bank, so I literaly ran along the lake to the other side of the kestrel to get the sun behind me, and I managed this shot BADSIO. They don't mention in wildlife photography guides that you may have to run to get your photos!

On the way back through Raphaels Park I found the redwing again and I managed one one photo BADSIO.

In Raphaels Park, a wood pigeon wandered across the icy path

A mallard walked across the ice on the lake

And some 'snow pigeons' (or doves on any other day ) wandered about on the path
