Regent's Park

Regent's Park 

The short cold snap has so far failed to cause any birds to move.

Here are some recent photos, nothing special.

    Stock Dove


    Lesser Black-backed Gull





    Yellow-legged Gull or hybrid

The photos below were taken in Hyde Park and Kensington Gardens

Are the Lesser-Black Backed Gulls in Regents Park like the ones in Hyde Park, which hunt, drown and eat pigeons as I noticed that one of the LBB's had some sort of meat?

I haven't seen them hunting down the pigeons in the park and I only thought that there was one LBB in Hyde that has made it his mission to hunt down Feral Pigeons. The one being eaten in Regent's could have been a young bird that had fallen from its nest under Longbridge.

Hi Tony,

Thanks for sharing your talent and knowledge here. On December 6, I saw two Whooper Swans waiting to be fed, right near the edge of the lake, seemingly unafraid of people just as the Mute Swans are. I hadn't seen them before, and haven't seen them since. Are these captive swans? Is it unusual to see Whooper Swans in London parks?

Also, I noticed on your New Year's Day list that you observed 2 Woodcocks. Can you tell me where and what time you observed them?

Thanks very much,

Vince Murphy
