Birds spotted during January stroll in St. James's Park

On a sunny day towards the end of January my camera and I went for a birding walk in London's St. James's Park.

There we saw:

A Great Tit framed inside a network of twigs

A green Rose-ringed Parakeet with an injury to it's underside

 A Cormorant drying it's wings on the bank of the lake

A Robin perching on the curved top of a railing

A female Blackbird disguising herself amongst the fallen leaves

Two Black Swans looking very cute in the hope that they will be served some lunch by tourists

A shaggy-headed Cormorant

The Cormorant was looking very haughty

A Black Swan showing off it's white under-feathers

A sun-bathing Red-Crested Pochard

A Black Swan with very frilly feathers

The naughty Black Swan was chasing after the Mute Swan cygnets

A scavenging white Ross's Goose

A family group of Ross's geese

A Little Grebe reflected in the lake

Two Bar-headed Geese marching round the lake

Three Pelicans shivering while standing in a row in the shade

Three hungry Pelicans swimming in a row

A Pelican with a fish in it's pouch - the park steward had just thrown fish to the Pelicans

A contented Pelican flashing it's wings in the sunshine

The three Pelicans moved into the sun to warm up

A Red-breasted Goose

Three Red-breasted Geese in a row
