A flock of Long-Tailed Tits passed through a red oak at the Vista.

A Greenfinch perched in a treetop.

A row of Starlings waited expectantly at the Lido restaurant.

Another lay on a table in a most un-Starlinglike way. We thought it must have an injured leg, but soon it jumped down to the ground and ran around perfectly well.

A pair of Carrion Crows shared the remnants of the pigeon-eating gull's breakfast.

After yesterday's picture of four kinds of gull in a row at Peter Pan, it was a surprise to see what were presumably the same gulls in the same order today.

It's only when you know gulls individually that you realise what creatures of habit they are.

A young Herring Gull on the Serpentine played with a fallen leaf while another investigated a soggy paper bag to see if there was anything edible inside.

The posts at the island were all occupied, so a Cormorant dried its wings on the shore.

This teenage Mute Swan was recently given a plastic ring, and was clearly irritated by it.

The Black Swan was on the Serpentine. It scooped up a beakful of water to preen its splendid plumage.

As the Shoveller drakes settle into their smart new feathers ...

... the Great Crested Grebes are fading into their dull winter plumage.

There was a new rabbit beside the Henry Moore sculpture. The one I photographed on 30 September had often been seen before, an old and tatty creature with one eye. So it looks as if the rabbits may bounce back after being almost wiped out by myxomatosis and foxes.

A Garden Spider ate a fly beside the Serpentine. 

The wind was blowing its web about. On the balustrade at the lake outflow a small spider which I can't identify ran across the stonework.
