Bread was being thrown for the birds so I took full advantage
(first 2 pics taken with Nikon V1, 30-110 mm lens)
Other wildlife
and a wander around the pond... Today there were some Gadwall, Shovellers and one Little Grebe.. never seen either of the last two species at Bushy before... but I didn't have the dSLR with me today so no pics.
I then headed off through the Park to visit Hampton Court Gardens. The formal gardens are free entry after the end of October.
A family of Mute Swans entertained me...
and a Black-headed Gull practiced standing on one leg!
and the formal gardens of Hampton Court..
and finally, back out through the 'wilder' part
a walk back through Bushy Park to the car - and a quick lunch of a Hot Dog from the kiosk in the car park before driving back home! Pity this weather isn't going to last .. but today was great!

I particularly like the first two pictures. Can't really say why except they gave me a good feeling. Maybe is all the life there. I love that gate or is it part of a fence. Whatever it is, I wouldn't refuse it if offered, lol.
Mother of pearls! What an active day full of birds! I love the second shot especially. Great capture. And the two swans are a treat:)
