, , , ...

About 3 weeks ago as part of my long post exam tour of the parks of Romford I wandered through Raphaels park and photographed a coot feeding its chicks(see here, second photo down). I visited again today and in roughly the same spot was a brood of four chicks: they all seemed to have survived and they,ve grown!

local redwings

, , , ...

I mentioned last month that I had seen redwings in my local area for the first time (see here). Well yeaterday I saw a flock of 41(!) on the field in Raphaels park. I started to creep towards them only for a dog walker to cut across the field in front of me (he could see what I was doing but didn't care :rolleyes:). So I started again, only for another dog walker to do the same! lol! . Anyway enough with the ranting, here are the photos (apologise for the quality, it was getting dark and there small birds;))

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:
