A Grey Wagtail enjoyed a bathe at the top of the waterfall in the Dell. We've seen it before, but what makes this clip unusual is that there was a family calling out and pointing at it from the parapet, and their little boy was actually in the pool a few feet from the normally very shy bird. But it took no notice of them at all. Birds are often not worried when people are active and noisy, but if you act like a birdwatcher and creep up on them stealthily they think they're being hunted and flee.

There are only two mature rowan trees left on Buck Hill, the other two having succumbed to honey fungus. One of them has already produced a fair crop of fruit, which a Blackbird was enjoying.

Much of the fruit has been torn off and dropped by Rose-Ringed Parakeets, sadly wasteful feeders which destroy far more than they eat. A Feral Pigeon was picking up the debris.

The young Little Owl was in its usual place in the lime tree on Buck Hill.

One of the young Great Crested Grebes on the Long Water dived repeatedly next to its mother to make her go down and find a fish for it.

A Moorhen in the Italian Garden looked down from a rail at its new family ...

... which were feeding and playing in the water lilies.

The Black Swan was on the edge of the Serpentine preening its fine ruffles.

The Egyptian goose pair with the blond male still have one gosling, though all the pale ones have been taken.

The Mallard still has three ducklings. She looked at them solicitously, but there's not much she can do in this dangerously exposed place with gulls circling overhead.

I don't usually photograph Grey Squirrels, but sometimes you just have to.

The unsuccessful wildflower patch at the back of the Lido has produced a few borage plants, which have attracted Honeybees.

Tom was at Rainham Marshes, where he found a young Merlin. The tiny raptor was standing on the electric fence which keeps the cattle in, with its tail feathers touching the live wire. Feathers are quite good insulators, but it still seemed to be noticing a tingle.

He also got a good shot of a Grass Snake.
