More herons and a carrier bagged pigeon in Regents Park

Thursday, 17. December 2009, 22:44:02

A couple of days after the visit in the last post I ended up in Regents Park again. If anything the weather was even worse, thicker overcast cloud and it kept raining on and off. So I tried something different and used the on board flash and went towards the tame herons

Regents Park grey herons and squirrels

headed, grey, heron, pigeon ...

Saturday before last I headed to Regents Park. The weather was overcast so I had to switch to my faster f2.8 100mm macro lens. Thankfully the wildlife here is more cooperative than most so I managed some photos without having to crop too much. The first thing I photographed was this heron

On the morning before the spotted flycatcher, I went for a walk around Wat Tyler Country Park. I checked the fleet for the lovely mist but I had no luck. The sun was shinning through the reeds though

Snow in Bedfords, Rise and Raphaels Park

Tuesday, 10. February 2009, 23:56:55

redwing, gull, doves, red ...

Here are the photos from last Wednesday. The snow was still thick, despite the sunny weather and the fact it hadn't snowed for a day or two. Walking through Rise Park, I noticed something moving in the ditch right next to me. There, flicking leaves like a blackbird, a metre away, was redwing! It moved of but I could get within about 3m of it with ease, by far the tamest redwing I've ever encountered.

St. James Park

Here are some photos from way back in November, when we popped into St. James Park. The parks most famous residents are the Pelicans, and there is usually one on the path to amuse the tourists

raphaels and bedfords park

Tuesday, 4. November 2008, 22:56:44

calf, park, deer, red ...

Last Wednesday I was free and the weather was good, a rare combination, so I headed out to try photograph some more squirrel close ups. But being half term the park was packed and the squirrels unusually scare. I did get a surprise at the lake: the water level has been lowered about 1-2m so repair work can be carried out on the bank and this has created some shallow areas, shallow enough for a heron to hunt. This is the closest I've got to a heron in Essex

Regents Park

close, park, grey, london ...

Well it had been a while since I'd been there and I was a uni with a few hours of daylight left...so I went to Regents Park

I spent most of my time in at the eastern end of the lake. The first thing I saw was a couple of wood pigeons sitting on the bridge. One was very tolerant and I took this from a metre away
