The Egyptian Geese on the north side of the Serpentine are still hanging on to their last gosling. But there's a long way to go yet.

The male Egyptian at the Henry Moore sculpture sat alone on the dead grass while his mate was on her eggs in a tree hole. With the number of big gulls on the lake well down, they might stand a chance of bringing up some young, something they have never yet succeeded in doing. But there are still as many Carrion Crows here as ever.

The Mute Swans on the Long Water are clearly determined to nest in the reeds near the Italian Garden. It's a desperately dangerous enterprise, as foxes range along the whole bank.

An irresponsible dog owner let his dogs jump into the lake. A pair of swans dealt with them competently. But the swans don't always succeed.

When two swans took off, two young Herring Gulls went along with them.

Another young gull played with a round seed. They are fascinated with things that roll.

One of the adult Grey Herons stood over the two chicks in the nest on the south side of the island.

The heron sitting in the nest on the other side stood up. There are still some days to go before the eggs hatch.

I've never seen a heron eating rice before. But it was managing quite well.

The Henry Moore Little Owl was in his usual place.

A crow in the Dell had found a bone and was pecking the marrow out of it.

A Grey Wagtail ran over the roof of the Lido restaurant looking for insects between the tiles.

A Pied Wagtail hunted among the daisies.

This is the first Holly Blue butterfly I've seen this year.
