Hyde Park - 16.2.13

After my son had mentioned the other weekend that he'd like to be an artist when he's older he asked if we could go to an art gallery! So a day out in London was had with a wander round the National Gallery seeing Van Gogh's, Constable's and Monet's and being told by a jobsworth foreign guard not to point at the paintings. After a quick doughnut and cup of tea we headed over to Hyde Park. Almost as soon as we entered the park a couple of Greylag Geese flew over and along with a few pairs of Egyptian Geese got onto my year list. But the main reason for going was soon found near the Diana Memorial fountain (more like an insult than a memorial) in a tiny reedbed I soon found the 2 female Bearded Tits that had been present for a couple of months. They showed amazingly well just a few feet away for the next 5 minutes quite unlike Bearded Tits usually behave!
