Regents park - ducklings, grebes, geese and herons. Oh and coots

Today I visited Regents Park just to be different :wink: :D In fact I visited Monday as well as Rapheals Park, thought I appear to have misplaced those photos Homer: Doh! Anyway back to today, and greating me as I entered where the red crested pochard ducklings that I also saw on Monday. 3 of these sat nicely on bank while laid down on the gravel to take some photos. This area is often covered by the resident flock of pigeons (they were a couple of metres away today), so it was probably coated in mixture of poo, feathers and parasites. Was worth it though: :D

On my previous visit report I mentioned and photographed (poorly) the nesting pair of kestrels. Well today Tony Duckett, the wildlife officver was kind enough to let me get closer to the male:
