Constant rain has turned the flat areas of the park into lakes. Black-Headed Gulls searched in the water, probably looking for worms that have floated up from their flooded holes.

A Carrion Crow had the same idea.

The small birds near the bridge were hungry. A Great Tit came out on the railings ...

... and a Chaffinch waited on a twig. One of the Chaffinches here will now come to some people's hand if they are very patient, but I haven't succeeded with it so far.

There is a corkscrew hazel bush under the mealworm feeders in the Dell, and a Blue Tit retired into the middle of it to eat its snack.

Long-Tailed Tits also like perching in it.

I went along the north side of Kensington Gardens to try to find more Blackbirds but only found one, almost certainly the one I saw yesterday.

Two handsome bronze Feral Pigeons perched on a planter at the Lido restaurant.

Another Grey Heron was sitting down in a nest, this time at the west end of the island. But it may just have been having a rest after the labour of fetching and adding twigs.

A nest on the south side of the island was also occupied.

The young heron plays no part in these proceedings, and fishes by itself on the edge of the island.

A Cormorant perched hopefully on the edge of a pool in the Italian Garden. But other Cormorants have already fished these pools down to the point of diminishing returns.

A Coot dived in shallow water, stirring up fallen leaves on the bottom in the hope of finding something edible among them.

There seems to be no progress at all with the nest on the post at Peter Pan, despite hard work by the pair. It would really be just as well if they never managed to build it, as any chicks would be instantly eaten by gulls.

A Mallard cropped algae off the top of the waterfall in the Dell.
