BIRDS AT ST. JAMES PARK, LONDON

These are old photos from a vacation in England in 2015. We spent a few days in London and had a great time exploring Saint James Park. It became a favorite place to go as it was a short walk from our hotel. There were many different kinds of feathered friends. Here are a few and I have provided links with more information on each name, including a map of the park here.

I rarely get to see a Graylag Goose. This may have been the last time.

The next two photos show the Ross' Goose. I went here to identify. If any of my ID's are wrong, I would be happy for the correction. I am no expert, always learning.

This goose is slightly larger than a mallard and smaller than a Canada Goose.

Next is the Great-crested Grebe.

  I had never seen any before my holiday. 

There are more facts at this website.

Sometime I will share more birds from the park.

LONDON SIGHTS FROM JUNE 2015

Resharing a few sights around London towards the end of a vacation from several years ago.  Some of you may remember them, but it's been a long time.  It was a very interesting walk around the city, and I like looking back on my old posts.

 

UPSIDE DOWN OR RIGHT SIDE UP?

"Each time I see the Upside-Down Man

Standing in the water,

I look at him and start to laugh

Although I shouldn't Oughtter.

For maybe in another world,

Another time,

Another town, 

Maybe HE is right side up

And I am upside down."
