babel for the birds

We walk a lot and are still discovering new areas and small parks within walking distance from our flat. (We're not as serious about all this as we look.)

Although I haven't caught many on camera, we see and hear beautiful birds in these places. Here's the most amazing bird town.... a Tower of Babel for birds.


There's a community park, called the Calthorpe Project, across Gray's Inn Road from us (very close) with some fun mosaic work. Look another bird!


These images are from St. James Park by Buckingham Palace... a bit of a hike from our place, but worth the trek to see the fabulous ducks.


And those little white blobs out there are the "Royal Pelicans" first introduced in 1664 as a gift from the Russian Ambassador.


I'm still waiting to capture a magpie for you.
