It was a good day for seeing small birds.

A Goldcrest darted around looking for insects in a bush beside the Serpentine.

A Robin sang in the Rose Garden. We may have had a lot of video of this bird, but you can't resist filming a singing Robin.

There were views of the Dunnock in the Rose Garden ...

... and at the Lido restaurant.

There was also a Pied Wagtail at the restaurant ...

... and several in the enclosure of the Diana fountain. You can get quite close to a shy Pied Wagtail if there's a fence between you and it.

A Goldfinch pecked at a leaf bud in a treetop beside the Long Water.

Below it, a Chaffinch ...

... and a Wren hopped around in the leaf litter.

There was a small flock of Redwings in the place on the Parade Ground where they have gone in previous years to find worms on the grass ruined by the Winter Wasteland. But there was no funfair in this fun-free year, and I didn't expect them to turn up. With no fence to protect them they were very shy and I only got a distant shot.

A Magpie began to build a nest beside the Serpentine.

The pigeon-eating Lesser Black-Backed Gull and his mate were in their usual place by the Dell restaurant.

The Grey Heron chick could be seen moving around in the nest, but it didn't show clearly enough to rate a picture.

Two Great Crested Grebes were fighting on the Long Water.

Still everything but the Mute Swans -- today's occupant of the swan island was a Moorhen.

The Black Swan was in a crowd of Mute Swans, doing its best to look big and impressive.

This pair of Gadwalls is constantly on the edge of the Dell restaurant terrace.
