The rowan trees at the top of the hill, which have been very quiet lately, were full of birds, not only Mistle Thrushes ...
... but Blackbirds ...
... Starlings ...
... Magpies ...
... Jays and a single Rose-Ringed Parakeet.
A Robin looked at the bustle from a neighbouring hawthorn.
In the trees around the Long Water, another Magpie preened ...
... a Wren found a larva ...
... a Great Tit stared from a bush ...
... and a Blackbird yawned. Opinion is divided about whether birds really yawn in the same way as mammals, but most think that they do, and even that it's contagious.
The Black Swan was at the Vista again, undeterred by the dominant Mute Swans, and came over to be fed.
So did a Tufted Duck, with a determined look in his yellow eyes.
A Common Gull, a Black-Headed Gull and a Lesser Black-Backed Gull perched side by side on the posts at Peter Pan.
