Wildlife seen during a walk in St. James's Park, London, on 6th December 2024

Great Tit with strange dark feathers in shrubbery near an entrance to the park

Coal Tit in the same shrubbery

Mute Swan following a Black Swan - they are friends, with the Black Swan helping the Mute Swan couple to look after their cygnets every year

Bar-headed goose lifting leaves

Another Bar-headed goose preening feathers while standing on one leg

Ross's goose lingering at the edge of the lake

Two Cormorants standing at the edge of the lake

Beautiful Autumn colours in the park

Two Great White Pelicans were standing on the path near the lake



Two more Pelicans were squatting near the benches at the back of the path



The remaining two Pelicans were standing in the water



Hawaiin goose walking across a patch of mud

Grey Heron standing at the top of a tree


Two Barnacle geese stopped feeding for a few seconds

Two Grey Herons had a slight altercation and were staring at one another




The Herons parted company without the need for a fight!


Green Rose-ringed Parakeet sitting on a branch above a group of people that were feeding the birds

Male Goldenye putting on some speed in the water

Two Grey Squirrels were sitting on logs at the water's edge

One had a look around and then started to wash its paws and tail






Then it turned its back on me!

The other was busy eating
