A Chiffchaff was still singing near the bridge, and came out on a twig for a moment.

A Wood Pigeon was picking off elderberries in another tree.

A Starling won two bits of mozzarella from a pizza at the Lido restaurant.

A view of the male Little Owl in the pair's nest tree. Now it seems to be the turn of the female to be elusive.

Virginia got a fine shot of an adult Hobby in a treetop near the Old Police House.

The stranded young Hobby was released two days ago while its parents were within earshot, and promptly joined them. It hasn't been found on the ground again as far as I know, so it looks as if the rescue has been successful.

Two Grey Herons waited on the edge of a picnic in Kensington Gardens, hoping to be given scraps. The park herons are ridiculously tame.

One of them got a cherry tomato, not a heron's usual food but the red colour encouraged the bird to eat it.

A Cormorant caught a perch on the Serpentine.

The oldest of the Great Crested Grebe chicks, now a teenager and beginning to fish for itself, enjoyed a good stretch.

The Coot and its single chick in the Italian Garden are now comfortably established on their second nest in the water lilies.

Tom got an interesting shot of a Moorhen in Regent's Park confronting a terrapin on a disused Coot nest.

He also found a Tufted Duck there with four ducklings.

A Tufted drake on the Serpentine turned upside down to preen.

A Common Carder Bee browsed on a Clerodendrum in the Dell.

While I was photographing it a disturbance caught my eye, and there was a Hornet struggling in a spider's web. I though it was stuck and went to find a bit of stick to release it. But when I came back it had gone. Looking at the picture later, I think it was stealing a wrapped-up hoverfly from the web. This had certainly gone when the Hornet left.

The spider was busy farther up the web. I thought it was a Garden Spider, the usual species in the Dell, but from the picture it seems to be something else, I don't know what.
