There I was lucky enough to see one of my favourite waterbirds - a Great Crested Grebe. It was bobbing about all over the place, often disappearing from sight under the water and diving for food. Below it is pictured with a Black-headed Gull.
In the photograph below, it is joined by a Tufted drake.
Now it is in the middle of a group of five Black-headed Gulls.
As usual, it was not very keen on swimming near to the edge of the lake, so it was quite difficult to get any decent close-up photographs. Here the Great Crested Grebe is in front of a line of Black-headed Gulls.
Every so often the Grebe did swim near to the path on which I was standing. The photographs below were taken when the Great Crested Grebe was nearest to me.
I love going to any of London's parks as I never know what beautiful birds I am going to see and they are always different. I was so lucky to see this Great Crested Grebe swimming in the lake yesterday.
