Some birds I saw in St James’s Park in London yesterday: black swan, mute swan, herring gull, preening young pelican #birds

So many geese! There is a feral flock of snow geese in Oxfordshire which I am trying to catch up with

Some close encounters with herring gulls during a north Wales holiday a few weeks ago. They are very ‘in your face’ and one snatched half of my cheese sandwich! #birds

They are a highlight of a birding winter

Last week at St James’s Park in London, 4 of the great white pelicans were fishing together, an unusual sight but apparently effective. A grey heron fished by itself and was also successful. The two species politely ignored each other. #birds @everyheron.bsky.social

To mark @everyheron.bsky.social’s 10th anniversary here is a heron in Kensington Gardens in London. Today is the hottest day of the year and the bird is ‘sunbathing’ to encourage parasites to come to the surface. It’s also gular fluttering - vibrating throat tissues with its beak open, to cool down

Happy anniversary Every!

Apparently Trump knows more about vaccines than actual medical experts. It is shocking that he can get away with this.

A visit to WWT London: Bob the heron arrived at exactly 2pm for the otters’ feeding time. Another heron could just be seen among the Australian pelicans and a third was sunbathing near the white storks. Herons know where to get their food! @adamlittle.bsky.social @everyheron.bsky.social #birds

That heron must be in there somewhere!

He was a very strange man and doesn’t deserve much of the praise he’s now getting

For #BirdOfTheDay, here is a grey heron at the Italian Gardens, Kensington Gardens, London. This bird was moving between the various ponds in the Gardens, regularly finding fish. #birds

St James’s Park, London. The heron on the bridge was on duty again and was having a preen to maintain the highest level of smartness @everyheron.bsky.social Also spotted was a pochard mother with her duckling #birds
