Peregrine Falcon: a male flew over the park at 1.20pm.

Redwing: 5 flew west at 8.25am.

Firecrest: the male was singing along the boundary fence 50 yards north of the Holme Oak this morning.

A few gull snaps as the days are still quiet.

This Common Gull (above) looks as if it’s going down the plug hole.

I was in the park today and was surprised to see a male Common Pheasant walking across the footbridge by Regent's College and walk out onto the road by York Bridge. Are pheasants a regular feature of Regent's Park?

That is only the eighth park record. The last being from November 2006 staying until mid January 2007 before moving to Hyde Park. There was one there again last year, these birds have been very approachable. This doesn't mean that they are not birds from the countryside. I do not think that they are likely to be birds from a back garden aviary.

Thanks for reporting it, I will keep an eye on the area.

Thanks Tony, thought it was a bit different from the usual birds I see in the park.

It must be keeping one step ahead of me.
