This mother and duckling (just one!) were stars as people came and went along the Rond Pond.
OK, it's just a starling, but you have to admit it's beautiful. Check out those spots!
This lone shoveler amongst the nmallards did not get much attention from most people but I was delighted to see her.
This is the goose that fascinated me. Again, most ignored it. This is an Egyptian Goose, part of a feral population established now, mostly in the eastern part of England. Some have a bold patch around the eye; too, this one just had a hint. There are various morphs. The pink bill and legs, yellow eye, neck ring, fox-colored back, bold white stripe and black flight feathers all confimed the ID.
