The ones in the far northwest corner of Kensington Gardens may live in the palace grounds or in a nearby garden square and only visit the park to hunt. That's what makes it so difficult to see them.

Also nice to see a Tawny gracing your blog again.

I know the tree where they were heard, but the young may already be mobile.<br /><br />Yes, I was with Virginia when we saw the swan family. I gave him some sunflower hearts which he didn't like, Virginia gave him some duck pellets which he did, but he wouldn't stop pecking at our bags hoping to find something tastier, and at our shins when he didn't.Ralph Hancockhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11686354797977020917noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8278510471239667560.post-72394461892334680472021-07-23T00:30:24.412+01:002021-07-23T00:30:24.412+01:00Oh my God, oh my God, Little Owls at last!

I guess it is useless to try to teach manners to a hungry swan.<br /><br />Yes, we live in hope. Sooner or later, the tawnies will made themselves visible.<br /><br />TinĂºvielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04794275230697959519noreply@blogger.com
