The Great Crested Grebes nesting on the Long Water have two chicks. One was on each parent's back. There may be more out of sight.

A grebe was comfortably settled on the stolen Coots' nest under the willow by the bridge.

At the Coots' nest on the post at Peter Pan, a parent brought a twig ...

... while a Lesser Black-Backed Gull on the next post polished his beak, waiting for a chance to grab a chick.

Farther up the Long Water, the female Mute Swan parked her five cygnets in a reed bed.

The swans on the Serpentine island have brought their six cygnets out into the water. Their mother looked after them while the father and another male swan circled each other endlessly and pointlessly in a territorial dispute.

For the first time I could see all the cygnets at the nest east of the Lido, and there is now a fifth. Hatched some time after the others, it was still resting beside its mother ...

... while the father took care of the other four.

A pair of Greylag Geese on the Serpentine have five new goslings.

The two blond and one normal Egyptian goslings are quite large now and are growing their flight feathers.

A Moorhen crossed the small waterfall in the Dell. With their big grippy feet they never get washed away.

A Reed Warbler brought a tuft of seed head to a nest near the Diana fountain. Thanks to Ahmet Amerikali for this picture.

At the original Diana fountain of 1906 a Magpie showed grave disrespect for the goddess, forgetting what happened to Actaeon. Hope it isn't torn to pieces by Blue Tits.

A Mistle Thrush sang from a tree on Buck Hill.

The Green Woodpecker near Physical Energy posed next to the nest hole.

A Greenfinch perched on a hawthorn twig near the Queen's Temple.

The Blackbird near the Dell was still hard at work finding worms for its young.

A patch of Cranesbill east of the Lido attracted Honeybees.
