Heron

In 1949 it was thought London would never see herons, or several other bird species again. How things change. In 1968 the first pair of herons made their nest in Regent's Park. By 1970 this had increased to 10. The efforts of those who work to keep the parks green and the waterways clean plus keeping areas for the birds and wildlife free from us humans has seen the population of herons increase to its current 27 pairs.
This one was very wary of me while at the same time wanting to know if there might be a tasty morsel in my bag. A camera was not appreciated.

Nest is Ready

While I was at the nature reserve looking out over the canal for yesterdays post, I came upon a couple of these structures. Seems they are nests. I don't know if any creature actually uses them or if they are wild art. I'll pop back in a month or so and see what happens.

Did I say you could sit there?

No clearly I didn't. Can't you see this is a boys area!

Bet you didn't expect to see us in London did you? Well it's all here. Our park is the biggest in London and hasn't changed much in centuries. Major achievement was convincing royalty to talk to trees instead of putting our headgear on their walls.
