Maybe "Walrus-moustached Reedling", but I fear that's as ill-fated as my "Great African Tree Duck". Great record for the lark as you say.

But Nuthatches seem to be absolutely bipolar. I have no idea why.<br /><br />Maybe Virginia can answer the question about the winner of the Mandarin--Coot fight. But I think it was just a brief flurry and they both headed off in opposite directions.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-15600388506945295022018-01-23T23:03:56.002+00:002018-01-23T23:03:56.002+00:00What a bonanza of great pictures!

Why is the Nuthatch so changeable, I wonder?<br /><br />I must ask: who won the fight?

I don't like keeping birds in captivity, and don't photograph them.<br /><br />If you do a Google image search for "St James's Park Birds" you will see plenty of them. Once you are in the park, if you walk round the lake you will find a large notice with pictures that will help you to identify them.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-4206854360101758692018-01-23T16:38:45.623+00:002018-01-23T16:38:45.623+00:00I was told that St James Park has some uncommon du...I was told that St James Park has some uncommon ducks and pelicans about. Would it be possible to show some pictures of them. I am planning to play a visit in the near future. Thanks.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15517236066218893349noreply@blogger.com
