Little grebe on the canal by the Wildside Activity Centre. It didn’t want to be watched, still less photographed.

Seconds after the last picture in the previous post the cormorant launched itself for a short flight to land on the water. A brief pause, then it disappeared as it dived after fish.

West Park’s semi-resident cormorant on its favourite perch high over boating lake island, on the look out for something to eat.

Goldfinch pausing to look around as it stands on buddleia twigs before deciding whether it is safe to eat at a feeder on the bush.
