Yesterday I went on a lovely sunny birthday walk in Hyde Park. I started off at the Round Pond in Kensington Gardens in the hope of seeing the Egyptian Geese and babies. I ate a sandwich while sitting on a bench in the sunshine - but there was no sign of the Egyptians during the whole time I was there. I gave up and walked around the Long Water instead.
The first bird I saw when I reached the lake was a heron perched on a fir tree.

I walked around to the other side of the Long Water and came across Blue Tits in the trees. I am a fairly new amateur photographer and have a hard time capturing large birds in trees, let alone small ones that are madly hopping from branch to branch - but did manage to take a picture of one of the Blue Tits.

I had better luck with a robin, who posed nicely really near me.

Below the birds, in the wooded area, there were some very cute-looking baby bunnies and these were much easier to photograph - due to sitting more-or-less still and being unable to fly!

After a long walk round the whole of the lake, I went back to the Round Pond in order to leave the park and go home and, guess what, the Egyptians and their babies were there - but the photographs will have to go into another post.
