Yet another pigeon eater

I don't recognise this Lesser Black-Backed Gull eating a Feral Pigeon on the lawn east of the Dell. But it isn't far from Pigeon Eater's hunting ground and, as we have seen before, several other gulls are trying to copy his successful methods.

A Grey Heron at the Triangle had grabbed a bit of bread too large to swallow whole, and was trying to hang on to it while assailed by Black-Headed Gulls and Mute Swans.

The dominant Black-Headed Gull has regained his place on the landing stage, but only because the Herring Gull had got bored with standing there.

The Czech gull is the undisputed master of the south-east corner of the Serpentine, and was standing on his post complacently surveying his territory with not another Black-Headed Gull within a hundred years of him.

At the landing stage the Black Swan lunged at a Carrion Crow which had got too close.

The female Little Owl at the Serpentine Gallery looked down from her lime tree, obligingly staying in place for a couple of Dutch visitors who had come specially to see her.

Both the Peregrines were on the tower. The female is on the left. They almost always perch with the concrete division between them so that they can't be seen by the other.

A Jay waited in a yew near Temple Gate.

After a relative absence of Rose-Ringed Parakeets for some days they had crowded back into the park and there was a mob at the place near the Italian Garden where people feed them.

Others were eating the very small fruit on a Japanese crabapple tree at the Triangle.

A Blue Tit in the Dell was getting impatient about being photographed ...

... but the Coal Tits seem to have learnt that if they pose for the camera they will get pine nuts immediately afterwards. This is the male of the pair.

Sunny spells brought out insects in the Dell, though they were an ordinary lot. A Honeybee explored a hibiscus, not a flower they generally bother with.

A Common Wasp flew over a Bat-Faced Cuphea.

A Flesh Fly, probably a Sarcophaga species, rested on a dahlia.

Ahmet Amerikali was at Southwark Park, where he got a good picture of a young Little Grebe with a substantial carp.

An Egyptian Goose on the same little lake had eleven goslings.
