Late January visit to Battersea Park, London

Towards the end of January I went for a winter bird watching walk in Battersea Park, London

It was good to see a large group of Mandarin ducks on the lake - a few of which are shown below




Other wildlife on the lake - Common Pochard drake

Ice-skating Moorhen in the wind

Lots of Black-headed gulls were standing on the frozen lake

Leaping Great Crested Grebe

back in relaxed mode

A pair of Northern Shovelers had been feeding in a patch of water

They then decided to go for a walk on the ice


Grey Heron testing the ice with its large feet

The Mandarins were preening at the edge of the island after a day out on the lake


The park's solitary Mute Swan swam past of group of Black-headed gulls that were standing on the ice
