A dull misty day. Three Carrion Crows enjoyed a bathe in the Serpentine, while a pair of Egyptian Geese in the foreground got on with their noisy business.

A Song Thrush uttered a few sporadic phrases in the Flower Walk.

A Blackbird waited on a twig for me to give him some sultanas.

A Wood Pigeon ate an apple that someone had put out for the Rose-Ringed Parakeets.

A female parakeet investigated a possible nest hole in a plane tree.

The pump for the waterfall in the Dell is still broken, and the Wren I saw yesterday was still foraging in the exposed mud. It was finding plenty of small white creatures that may be some kind of insect larvae.

There was a lot of coming and going from the Grey Herons on the island, with some occupying nests ...

... and others fishing on the shore.

A Cormorant caught a perch and a beakful of dead leaves, which had to be removed before it could swallow the fish.

The ornate stonework of the Italian Garden makes a fine adventure playground for young Moorhens.

A young Great Crested Grebe on the Long Water has almost lost its juvenile stripes.

Some Shovellers have returned to the Long Water. They were over the far side when I was there, but earlier David Element got a fine picture of a drake stretching.

A female Gadwall displayed her quietly beautiful feather patterns.

One of the Bar-Headed x Greylag Goose hybrids is on the Round Pond, and this one is on the Serpentine. I don't think they know where the other is, as they fly in at random from St James's Park when they feel like a change of scene.
