Mrs. Wow and I visited Osterley Park, W. London, today. We saw mallards, shovelers, tufted duck, Egyptian goose, Canada goose, coots, moorhens, great crested grebes, a heron and greater spotted and green woodpecker. Oh, and loads of ring-necked parakeets.
This great crested grebe was sitting on its nest within a few yards of the M4. It was not the peaceful, idyllic scene one might have thought with the sound turned down.
