Local parks are a great place to see wildlife up close.

On a visit to a suburban park a little outside my local area I was very encouraged to see how much local volunteers were doing to provide information about the wildlife in the park and just as pleased to see that the information boards were being respected and not covered in graffiti.

It was also very encouraging to see how many people were showing a genuine interested in the birds.

Lesser black-backed gull

Mallards at this time of the year are quite dull but their plumage is still very attractive

Hands on with feeding the pigeons

Cormorant drying its wings after a fishing trip

Nothing like a good flap

A big surge to get out of the water

More colour than you think

A good place to have a scratch

Demonstration od agility and balance

Plenty of swans and cygnets in the park

Black-headed gull

Pigeons doing a circuit of the lake to find a new source of people feeding them seeds – there were plenty of options. Everyone now seems to know not to feed them bread.
