I am not quick enough to spot them but they are lovely little birds. Today (Thursday) I saw your ringed Herring Gull sitting on a post at Peter Pan, an orange ring on the left leg with a small silver one on the right leg. It will be interesting to know where it was ringed if you get a reply. I also saw today a Reed Bunting singing near the Dell Restaurant.marienoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-88310901272722292912015-04-15T23:53:53.370+01:002015-04-15T23:53:53.370+01:00Thank you, good to know someone expert was on his ...Thank you, good to know someone expert was on his way!

It has bark with deep fissures at a slight angle to the vertical, forming a spiral of lines, and with a ginger tinge. It is near the corner where the peripheral path circling the Round Pond crosses the straight path from the Round Pond to the Diana playground.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-15037610273847594302015-04-15T23:15:36.786+01:002015-04-15T23:15:36.786+01:00Hello, could you please confirm that the Greylag w...Hello, could you please confirm that the Greylag with the top of can stuck is fine? I saw it today and it was heartbreaking! Many people tried to help it and one lady fell into the water in the attempt to reach the Graylab! After 15 mins I had to go but I couldn't stop thinking about the poor animal! Please, let me know it's safe and well!

I assumed that the exotic tree between the Orangery and the Round Pond must have been one of the two false acacias next to the side gate to the orangery, as the other trees in that area are all either lime of horse chestnuts (as far as I can tell), but I can see from the photo in today's blog that I was mistaken. If you could explain which tree it is, I may give it another go tomorrow. <br />MarioAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
