Mid-February 2024 visit to Battersea Park for birds and blossom

I went for a walk round Battersea Park in mid-February and enjoyed seeing the wildlife and signs of Spring in various parts of the park.

I began with a visit to the Mandarin ducks on the lake


Great Crested Grebe with golden reflections in the water

Patch of beautiful little Violets near the edge of the lake

I followed a Magpie along the path until it turned round and posed for me



A Moorhen walked tentatively along a horizontal branch

White Quince flowers at the edge of the path

A Grey Squirrel was practising some aerobatics and having lunch at the top of a tree






There were mini Irises in the Old English Garden

Pink Cherry blossom at the edge of the lake

A male Gadwall had something to quack about

Coral and white Quince blossom further along the path around the lake


Later on, several Mandarins were standing at the edge of the lake



Two Common Pochards swam past

Very relaxed male Mandarin duck
