At the southeast corner of this enclosure there is an old battered chestnut tree. Look for the next one, a few yards away to the southwest. Then look for the one after that, at a slightly greater distance and up the hill a bit. It has brambles round its base. This is the Little Owls' nest tree from last year, and the male owl's long-term favourite branch, when viewed from the north side, is at near corner of the tree. One or both of the Little Owls may also be high up inside another chestnut tree adjacent to this on the uphill side, and visible from the north or west side of this tree. This is where they nested this year, and it's where I photographed the male owl today. (By the way, you're commenting on yesterday's blog. It's helpful if you can put queries on the latest post.)Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-39986953064103229882015-10-19T22:48:08.879+01:002015-10-19T22:48:08.879+01:00Where is the nest tree with the Owls in it please?...Where is the nest tree with the Owls in it please?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367347827172759088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-38739266715194866732015-10-19T22:46:29.709+01:002015-10-19T22:46:29.709+01:00Loads of parakeets all over the Henry Moore Arch t...Loads of parakeets all over the Henry Moore Arch today, living in the tree going right heading towards Lancaster Gate, the black swan was up by themSerpentine Bar and Grill,happily swimming around in the SERPS.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02367347827172759088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-69654082018782125192015-10-19T20:56:54.116+01:002015-10-19T20:56:54.116+01:00Thank you for your kind words.Thank you for your kind words.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-24476920134857877732015-10-19T13:18:13.086+01:002015-10-19T13:18:13.086+01:00Thank you for your kind explanations of coal tits ...Thank you for your kind explanations of coal tits (and cameras) yesterday. I first visited Kensington Gardens as a small child in 1951, and it is still magical. It is also wonderful to know that there are those such as yourself who follow the comings and goings of bird species and even individuals in the Gardens.
