The female Little Owl could be seen in the lime tree on Buck Hill, though the tree trunk on the right blocked a full view.

I went back later hoping for a better shot and found both of them side by side in the squirrel drey, though not showing at all well. The female is on the right.

The Peregrine was back on the Royal Lancaster Hotel. She chooses the downwind side, unlike the Peregrines on the Knightsbridge Barracks who always seem to perch on the side facing the park.

A Carrion Crow looked out from a patch of dogwood near the Lido.

A Magpie looked for insects and worms under fallen leaves.

A Blackbird ate rowan fruit.

Despite milder weather the tits in the Flower Walk were hungrier than ever and followed me all the way along. This is the bold Coal Tit in the corkscrew hazel bush.

One of the pair of Pied Wagtails at the boathouse paused for a moment on the path.

Pochards and Tufted Ducks mingled under a tree beside the Vista.

The Mute Swan pair in the Italian Garden had a mad moment.

A brisk wind whipped up waves on the Serpentine but didn't disturb the serenity of a procession of Greylag Geese.

It encouraged three Mute Swans to fly. A strong headwind saves a lot of energy in taking off.

Even the Grey Herons seemed to be enjoying the wind. One left its nest and flew round the island several times.

Its partner displayed as it passed over.

A shaft of evening sunlight caught an airliner going to land at Heathrow.
