Gleaming!

A quick visit to Victoria Park this lunchtime and the male kingfisher was there when I got there.

She is back!

Having seen the male was back in Victoria Park after the cold snap and the frozen lake, it was good yesterday to see the female has also returned.

Rob’s theme today is feeding time so of course I gotta repost this greedy piglet. Tufted duck juvie with a massive stickleback with algae salad lunch

Good to see #kingfishers on #winterwatch this evening.

A lunchtime cycle today along Regent's Canal down towards Limehouse and spotted a new female tucked away in a bush.

Went to Staines Res this morning, no sign of the drake Lesser Scaup - but what's this swimming with the pair of Greater Scaup? - a female Lesser Scaup! #londonbirds

The Great Northern Diver yesterday at King Geo V Res, Chingford. It was tucked into the northeast corner of the north basin, so easily missed if you don't go beyond the causeway.

As a birdwatcher who doesn’t enjoy sorting through 1cy / 2cy / 3cy #birds in a gull roost (I can’t be the only one 🤷‍♂️) the adult Caspian Gull a few yards from the roadside at Eagle Pond, Snaresbrook is a real gift #londonbirds #ukbirding

GN Diver, Scaup (?), Smew, 2 Black Redstart, 2 Common Scoter at King Geo V Res yesterday.

The Scaup had a white area on the bill - not something I've noticed before as my sightings are usually distant. Is this a sign of being a hybrid or normal?

He is back!

After a short absence due to the frozen canal and lakes in Victoria Park, the male kingfisher was back on Regent's Canal near Mile End Park yesterday. No sign of the female however.

Today’s theme is two of a kind - pairs of the same bird, alt of Paridae. I’ve got canoodling coots, a cranky corvid kid with mum, tufted synchronised swim team and a pair of long tail tits (thank god for the words in between there…)
