I love visiting the London Wetland Centre in Barnes, where there are some fairly exotic captive birds and also lots of visitors that fly in from far and wild - or not so far.
I last visited on a cold and cloudy March day. Just before the centre closed, when I was leaving, I was treated to what looked like a courting display from the two green ring-necked parakeets that are on the right-hand side of the bare-branched tree in the photo below. As you can see, the light level was not good and I have not yet got to grips with the settings on my camera - having only recently started taking photos of birds and nature.
They were sitting a short distance apart on the branch, then they leant over and appeared to be kissing!
They parted company:
and then they were back at it!
This is the view from the other side of the tree:
More kissing!
Well, I suppose it shows us that this was Spring - whatever the temperature!
