Heronry report 9

Thursday, 28. February 2008, 21:50:36

, , , ...

Today I went for a wander around regents park. Activity at the heronry was the same as it has been recently. No sign of any chicks today, but I'm sure there are some up there. Hopefully when they get a bit bigger ill be able to see there heads poking up over the top of the nest. The first interesting thing I saw after walk on from the heronry was a pair of ruddy shelducks, one of which is shown here:

Heronry report 8: A wander around regents park - with loads of photos

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.

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

A walk through Romfords Parks

Thursday, 31. January 2008, 15:17:40

, , , ...

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:
