This cheeky little fellow gets everywhere in my garden.

London Parks Owls 2013

The Kensington Gardens owls where slow to show themselves this year,

but with the long cold winter this year, who can blame them.

Above is one of the proud Tawny owl parents.

This inquisitive ball of down is one of the chicks.

This Grey heron enjoying a paddle in Long Water, looked very fine in the rare winter sunshine.
