Two Carrion Crows went through the remains of someone's breakfast at the Dell restaurant. It was a bit surprising to see that a tomato was a success. The other crow rejected some mushrooms and went back to scraping melted fat off the other plate.

Another skilfully held up a plastic plate in a bin to eat the scraps on it.

A young Herring Gull had no difficulty in keeping crows off the Feral Pigeon carcass it was eating. For once this pigeon was not a victim of the pigeon-eating Lesser Black-Backed Gull. A circle of feathers nearby shows that it was killed by a Sparrowhawk which was probably frightened off the kill by people or dogs. A female Sparrowhawk can fly holding a pigeon, a male can't.

The two Spotted Flycatchers were still in their usual place near the bridge.

While I was photographing them, the local Great Tits ...

... and Blue Tits kept interrupting to ask for food.

A Blackbird fed in the rowan tree on Buck Hill.

The Great Crested Grebes from the east end of the island were looking after their three chicks. One of them got fed.

The single chick from the other end of the island is no longer tiny.

Ahmet Amerikali is keeping an eye on the two Little Grebe chicks in Southwark Park. They grow up much faster than their larger cousins, and are now almost adult size.

A young Moorhen clung to the slippery edge of the fountain in the Italian Garden.

A fox cub basked in the sunshine behind the Henry Moore sculpture.

Two squirrels pulled the bark off a branch to find grubs.

Two male Migrant Hawker dragonflies circled the planters in the Italian Garden.

A face-to-face view.

There was also a male Willow Emerald damselfly.

This curious painting has appeared on one of the lifebelt boxes at the Vista. It's painted on a road map of the Loire Valley, varnished and glued on. I can't make out whether the signature is Annabelle Amorvio or Annabelle Amori 19.
