The grebes at the restaurant have eggs

The Great Crested Grebes who stole the Coots' nest under the balcony of the Dell restaurant now have eggs. You can't see them from this low angle, but the female on the nest is clearly turning them over to keep them evenly warmed.

The Coots who owned the nest and have two chicks are just having to do without.

A pair of Coots nested in an audaciously exposed position on the gravel strip on the Round Pond, where a Herring Gull could stroll up and grab a chick any time it felt hungry. Somehow they've got away with their gamble, but only just as they have one surviving chick.

Mandarin ducklings are very independent and at an early age wander off by themselves. I found four in various parts of the Round Pond. There may have been more.

It was the same on the Serpentine, where one of the two teenagers was resting in the shade of a lifebelt at Fisherman's Keep while the other was with its mother by the bridge.

The single Pochard duckling could be seen across the Vista with its mother.

The Black Swan with his Mute mate 4GIQ were with their cygnet by the bridge, as usual attracting an admiring crowd. They are now a celebrity couple.

The other swan family were at the Dell restaurant terrace, working the tables.

Pigeon Eater was also here, standing on a table. There were Feral Pigeons picking up scraps on the ground and he was clearly working out a way of pouncing on one from above in the narrow space between the benches. He had already killed one today, as I found the remains earlier in Kensington Gardens, probably carried off by a Carrion Crow.

The first Black-Headed Gulls have returned to the Round Pond.

The Greylag Goose U318 and mate were at the Triangle with 14 teenagers hatched outside the park and brought in as soon as they could fly. They can't have had all those by themselves, and probably some of them belong to U410 who has also brought in a family. But it's unusual for Greylags to look after each other's goslings -- unlike Canadas which do this routinely.

A pair of Egyptians at the Round Pond have eight young, now fairly grown up.

Egyptians tend to moult at odd times, not in unison like the larger geese. This one on the Serpentine has started early and is now regrowing its primaries.

The three Grey Heron chicks in the nest at the east end of the island were restless, wandering about and flapping. They will soon be out of the nest and exploring the trees.

The male Little Owl at the Serpentine Gallery stared down from the plane tree...

... and his daughter was in the chestnut.

Theodore found a feather from an adult under the trees.

I looked for Red-Eyed Damselflies in the Italian Garden and found a few in the northeast pool.

This bright fungus on a half-dead cherry tree by Temple Gate is a Shaggy Bracket, Inonotus hispidus.
