A Pied Wagtail ran around confidently in the Diana fountain enclosure, happy to come near because there were railings separating us and it knew I couldn't get over them.

A Wren posed grandly on the railings.

Another Wren was poking around in the leaf litter in the woodland at the foot of Buck Hill ...

... accompanied by a Moorhen. Dead leaves attract all manner of insects and small invertebrates and are a precious resource, yet the park management insists on quite unnecessarily blowing them out of the shrubberies.

A Song Thrush looked for worms in the grass beside Rotten Row.

The male Nuthatch reappeared in the yew tree in the leaf yard.

There are now two Blue Tits that follows us down the east side of the Long Water expecting pine nuts.

There were still seven Egyptian goslings at the Henry Moore sculpture, but the hungry Carrion Crows had their eyes on them. The gander chased off a Jackdaw and a crow.

There are often a lot of Jackdaws here now. I don't think they present much of a threat to goslings, though the larger crows certainly do.

The dominant male Mute Swan at the west end of the Serpentine was being his usual violent self.

The long running contest between the two male swans at the island may have been settled. One was sitting on the shore arranging twigs to make a nest.

Two teenage swans were enjoying a bit of puppy love on the Long Water. They won't try to breed until they're at least two years old.

Paul took this splendid picture of a female Kestrel at Richmond Park, perfectly camouflaged in a dead tree.

Tom was at Rainham Marshes, where he got a fine shot of a male Bearded Tit with a comedy villain moustache ...

and at Belhus Woods Country Park close by, where he saw a Red Kite.
