Lovely patch of Bluebells on the path at the beginning of my walk in the park
Egyptian parent and three goslings were startled by a sudden heavy flow of water from a nearby pipe

Four military helicopters flew in formation over the park
Grey Heron pretending to be a statue in the Old English Garden
Beautiful white/yellow Irises
There were many fancy-shaped Tulips in the Old English Garden
The Grey Heron had moved round to the other side of the pond and posed in front of some flowers
Back at the lake, the Egyptian parents were standing with four of their six goslings
Oregon Grape at the edge of the footpath round the lake
Rather handsome Gadwall drake
and pretty female Gadwall
Common Pochard having a splashing time!
Coots doing what Coots love - fighting!!!
Recently I have seen none or just a few Mandarins - today one was swimming around on the lake
A Grey Heron flew overhead with what looks like a large fish in its beak
Two differently-coloured Mallard drakes swam across the lake
Back almost where I started, I was happy to see several Mandarin drakes - and just one female!
I counted six male Mandarins altogether, but they refused to all be photographed together
