The Hobbies were flying over the whole width of the park, sometimes so high that they disappeared into the cumulus clouds. None of them landed while I was there. This is the best aerial shot I could manage.

There is one new Moorhen chick at Peter Pan, already several days old but previously unseen. It was being kept well in to the edge of the lake, to guard it from the large gulls that were watching from the posts and had probably eaten the rest of the brood.

Several Cormorants were perched on the fallen horse chestnut tree in the Long Water, and two of them were standing face to face and flapping vigorously at each other. I don't know whether this was some kind of greeting between mates, or whether they just happened to feel like a flap.

A Chiffchaff was hopping about in the shrubbery at the southwest corner of the bridge.

The family of Nuthatches in the leaf yard were calling excitedly to each other and leaping about in the trees.

The commotion set a couple of Chaffinches calling as well. But I couldn't see what had disturbed them.

The Great Crested Grebe chicks are also making a loud noise on both lakes. This is one from the east end of the island, momentarily silenced by a large meal.

There were a lot of Starlings running around the Round Pond, with their iridescent feathers looking very fine in the sunshine.
