| Coot family |
A busy sort of a day, what with one thing or another, so I took the opportunity for a quick stroll round Alexandra Park on the way back home from getting my Covid jab.

| As bald as a (baby) coot |
The ring-necked duck is a distant memory, with just half a dozen each of mallard and tufted duck to remind us it was ever there. The coots and moorhens have youngsters to keep them busy.

| Grey heron |
The herons' nests are deserted but there's plenty of evidence of some degree of occupation. A young heron was perched at the top of one of the heronry trees but it was a second calendar year bird, possibly one of last year's batch from here.
And there was a reminder that the craze for Mutant Teenage Ninja Turtles didn't end well for the pond life of Britain.
