Regent’s Park
Well it looks as if the spring migration has come to an end. A couple of hours in the park this morning and this afternoon didn’t produce anything out of the ordinary.
The early morning sun lights up the male Kestrel
Having caught a mouse he takes it to the nest box for the female, she then departs to enjoy the meal in peace. He stayed in the box until she returned.
This nest is very visible from the bank of the lake by the Bandstand. It is a little high up but will allow good views as the young develop. Hopefully a lower nest will offer more opportunities later in the year.
There are several of the earlier fledged young making use of the strong breeze to tone their flying skills.
The pair of Shelducks took a dislike to this gull carrying nesting material
This once scarce species can be seen and heard over most of the park.

This is when you need a Blunderbluss
Comments
Good news/bad news: the pair of flighted Shelducks have successfully hatched young but as of 6:20am there was only one left.
