The young Little Owl on Buck Hill had moved into a different tree which gave a better view. It was restless because of a noisy police helicopter overhead. I've turned the sound down in this video.

Just after I'd recorded this the resident female Kestrel flew into a the top of a lime tree. Buck Hill is a good hunting ground providing mice and grasshoppers. She wasn't worried by the helicopter, as the air ambulance lands on Buck Hill at frequent intervals.

A female Chaffinch looked for spilt seeds under the feeder in the Rose Garden.

The Grey Wagtail, not seen for some time, was on a rock under the waterfall in the Dell. It was impossible to get a good picture as she was 100 yards away.

A fine picture by Ahmet Amerikali of a female Blackcap eating blackberries beside the Long Water.

One of the Great Crested Grebes near the bridge fed a fish to a chick.

The Coot chicks in the Italian Garden were back on the nest being fed by their parents.

Young Common Carp about two inches long milled around in one of the pools.

The Moorhen family at Peter Pan were lurking under the bushes as usual ...

... but a chick came out for a moment and perched on a submerged branch, giving a view of its extraordinarily large feet.

Two more teenage Greylag Geese have arrived on the Serpentine, in addition to the five already here. It really does look as if these geese have decided that trying to breed in the park is hopeless, and the thing to do is to nest in a safer place and bring the young ones in as soon as they can fly.

That is something beyond the intellect of the incompetent Egyptian Geese who have been in the Italian Garden for twenty years and have never managed to raise a single gosling.

The dark Mallard duckling was at the Diana fountain landing stage with its normal sibling. The place offers good shelter from the gulls.

A Meadow Brown butterfly perched on a thistle beside the Long Water ...

... and on the other side of the lake a Common Carder bee was busy on a burdock flower.
