Spur of the moment - Bushy Park and Claremont Gardens

Plan A - I was headed for Polesden Lacey .. but on the spur of the moment I took a different exit from a roundabout.. decided to go to Bushy Park

Was lucky to get parked... First birds seen? My old friend Ring-necked Parakeets..

A very young Grey Heron.... was being fed bread with al the other birds

Red Crested Pochards

and I then went on to Claremont Gardens for a bit to eat.. excellent scone as always

and the home....

Tricia Ryder said...: Simon - I used to live about 2 miles from Bushy Park. About 1 mile from me there was a Parakeet roost of in excess of 4,000 Parakeets. I had them in my garden daily. the most as any one time, was 36.
