Todays Stroll in the Park.

A return visit to Richmond Park today. No new sightings but a chance to capture some images for future posts .... so here is an 'ad hoc' selection for now.
Robin (Erithicus rubecula)
 Great Tit (Parus major)
 Various signs new growth - Rhododendrons in bud and a few in flower plus the fragrant Viburnum 'Dawn'

 Camelia.
 Double Egyptian (Alopochen aegyptiaca)
 Feral Pigeon (Columba livia [domest.])

Mr and Mrs Mallard in sync.
The Lookout (Red Deer Stag).

    Lovely photos Frank, your Robin and Great Tit posed in a much better position and light than mine did :)

    Lovely to see all the pink blooms. I have Viburnum Dawn in my garden, she is always such a welcome sight when there is not much else to see.

    Lovely stag photo too!

    HI Frank..lovely flowers coming into bloom ,and I guess I can think about what I have to look forward to instead of being envious!! : }
    I love the bottoms up of the Mallards feeding, and the beautiful irridescent colors of the pigeon!!

    Thanks Lois.

    Hi Shelley. I won't disagree with you.

    Hi Jill. Every day brings something in front of the lens.

    Hi Cindy. Yes, yours is much larger.

    Hi Hootin' Anni. Nice to hear from you and I appreciate the compliments.

    Cheers Roy.

    Hi Jan. The Robin was very obliging but the Great Tit took a little bit of work. I've always been fond of of 'Dawn'.

    Thanks Chris.

    Hi Grammie. No doubt I'll find a few more flowery images over the coming weeks just to tickle your fancy.
