Species Update

Add 39. jay (camera-shy). So that's 39 birds and two mammals -- reptiles, amphibians and butterflies are still waiting for warmer weather.

I got a bad photo of a siskin last week.


There were fifteen cormorants holding a convention on the big bollard in the Thames this morning (and a great black-backed gull gatecrashing).






I got some much better great black-backed gull pictures.




And another shot of the heron in a more traditional pose (which is rather blurred -- I don't advise clicking through to a larger size of this one).

Ardea cinerea (grey heron) and Phalacrocorax carbo (great cormorant, but just called "cormorant" in common usage in the UK).
