Weather: cold, grey & windy. From 11:30am.
From Hyde Park Corner along Serpentine Road on the Serpentine: Coot, Mute Swan, Tufted Duck, Shoveler, Black-Headed Gull, Red-Crested Pochard (feral).
Crossing Exhibition Road into Kensington Park Gardens: Ring-Necked Parakeet noisy in the trees; Little Grebe from the Serpentine Bride on the Long Water.
In the trees around the feeder near the Physical Energy Statue: Robin, Starling, Great-Spotted Woodpecker. After a scouring the nearby trees eventually the target bird was spotted unassuming against a tree trunk, a day-roosting Tawny Owl. Unfortunately we only spotted one & not the widely reported family group, but maybe next time.
On Round Pond: Common Gull, Great-Crested Grebe, Egyptian Goose. Many of the previous species also seen again in an area where many people come to feed them, as a consequence they were extremely naturalised & easy to approach.
14 species.
