Yesterday On my way into uni I decided to take the long route via rapheal park to see if I could see any great crested grebe young. The pair there did have young and they were riding on one of their parents backs, but were unfortunatly on the other side of the lake. I did however catch the other parent catch a fish 
A visit to Raphaels Park and Ingrebourne valley and harrow lodge park and Dagenham chase - a busy day!

On Thursday I finally had a free day and the weather was good 
So I thought I'd head for part of the Ingrebourne river and the parks reserves it flow through: Ingrebourne Nature Reserve, Hornchurch Country Park and Berwick Woods. I started of in Raphaels park as its only a small diversion from the walk to the bus stop. There I was treated to a great crested grebe hunting for breakfast

Its been atleast a week since Ive been to Regents Park, so it was time for a visit. First up, of course the herons. Adults were a bit thin on the ground, for Regents Park anyway. The chicks are growing fast, some might even be fledging soon, judging by there size!
Heronry report 8: A wander around regents park - with loads of photos
Wednesday, 20. February 2008, 23:50:02
I start today with and admission. I missed something. Apparently some eggs have hatched in the heronry (I wasn't aware any had been laid!) and according to the writer of regents park birds chicks have been heard. Thers no reason to doubt this as this guys obviously know his stuff and I believe surveys the park in the mornings when its quieter.
Anyway on with the report. The light was awful, as the fog never lifted so no photos of herons on the nest. However a foriegn school group turned up and the herons descended from their nests

The latest trip to Regents Park was on saturday. A quick inspection showed a few herons on the nests. Not as active as previously seen.

A walk through Romfords Parks

I had a half day yesterday and rather than go Regents park again, I decided to have a walk around my usual haunts and do some recording for the East London bird forum. First stop was Raphaels Park where as I entered I saw a pair of Great crested grebes performing courtship - the phase where they swim so fast that their body rises completely out of the water, at an angle of 45 degrees. Of course I didn't get any photographs of it... But there was another grebe who was more co-operative:
