I went for a walk in Battersea Park on 11th November, which began with seeing a group of Mandarins standing at the edge of the lake. The pair of Mute Swans that live in the park serenely sailed past them.
This drake was lucky enough to have a partner
There were more drakes than females on the path at the edge of the lake
I couldn't resist taking a photograph of this magnificent Larch
There were lots of lovely Autumn coloured leaves on the trees along the path on the way to the other side of the park
The Old English Garden was looking very autumnal
There were still a few brightly-coloured flowers in the Old English Garden
plus a Grey Squirrel that was eating a piece of lettuce!
Carrion Crows were perching on bare branches near another lovely tree
Further round the lake I came across a Grey Heron perching on railings
It suddenly flew off towards the sunny side of the lake
Beautiful Autumn colouring on the trees round the lake
Later on, back where I began my walk, the Mandarins were now in the water
