Blue Tit nest in a lamp post

A Blue Tit nesting inside the cast iron column of a gas lamp post brought caterpillars to the chicks.

They were finding several kinds of caterpillar. It would be good if they managed to stop the local population of Ermine Micromoths from wrecking the bushes.

A female Blackcap near the leaf yard ticked angrily at a Magpie below her.

A Starling at the Lido restaurant waited for a chance to raid a table.

At the Round Pond, the male Little Owl suddenly shot out of the nest tree and landed on a branch in a neighbouring horse chestnut. He looked down at us suspiciously.

His mate was asleep in the next tree.

A young Grey Heron sunbathed in the Dell.

There are still only four Coot chicks in the nest at the bridge, despite two females having laid 19 eggs. It doesn't look as if the remainder will hatch.

The parents' enthusiastic nest building buried a chick, but it struggled out.

The Mute Swan on the nesting island on the Long Water has hatched another two cygnets, making four so far.

The swans with six cygnets on the Serpentine paraded them along the edge, knowing that the spectacle would encourage people to feed them.

The parents of the eleven Egyptian goslings had the same idea.

A Greenbottle fly perched on a California poppy at the back of the Lido.

A Common Blue Damselfly rested on a grass seed head beside the Round Pond.

A Honeybee browsed on a clump of green alkanet in the Flower Walk. Since this plant is considered an invasive species it probably ought not to have been there, but it has pretty flowers and is popular with several species of bee.
