Last friday, on the way to the natural history museum, I took the route through Hyde Park. By the lake I came across this grylag x canada goose hybrid

Kensington Gardens and Green Park

On my way to the Natural History Musuem I walked through Green Park and Kensington Gardens. In Green Park these greylags looked a little lost - as there are no ponds or lakes in Green Park (unlike all the other royal parks!)

I found the 'lost' photos from Monday. So here they are. First up the mother of the red-crested pochard ducklings I photographed last year and some of them
Regents park - ducklings, grebes, geese and herons. Oh and coots

Today I visited Regents Park just to be different 
In fact I visited Monday as well as Rapheals Park, thought I appear to have misplaced those photos 
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:

On Saturday I visited Epping forest to look for hairy dragonflys on Wake valley pond. We parked in the visitor centre car park and head to wake valley pond through the wood. First of all we came a cross a pond where a number of large red damselflys were emerging
Heronry report 14: and other activity in regents park

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!

I t had been a while since I'd been to Regents Park (well compared to before how often I'd been to Regents prevously), so I thought I'd check on the progress of the herons. I also met up with Tony, the wildlife officer at Regents Park and writer od 'regents park birds' site (see links) which was a nice bonus. Anyway back to the herons. The chicks could be seen on two nests
