After visiting Regents Park, we headed to Kensington Gardens to look for the family of Tawny Owls that roost near the kinetic energy statue. The male was spotted soon after we arrived.

Oh, excellent. Great capture. To see an owl is a privilege, but to get the little ones too, that's special!

Those little ones are precious. Pretty birds.

Thanks everyone.

@Anonymous - I don't think it matters as they stay where they are all day, which often is pretty out in the open
