The Park - Uriah Heep

Just the very presence of

 RING-NECKED PARAKEET

 would likely be clue enough for our more

Regular and Staunch Readers

to fathom where part of last week was spent?

No prizes for guessing

Kingston-upon-Thames

visiting

 The family York

my daughter Lisa holding on to youngest family member

Elizabeth followed by Benjamin, Alexander and Frederick.

Not unusual for 'anyone' on such occasions, out comes the Canon

and the 'snapping' begins.

Part of the duties of

Grandpa Bagsy

was to entertain the children while Mummy got on with other things.

What better way than to visit the play park

on the banks of the river where our very first encounter

was with c3 juvenile

RED-CRESTED POCHARD

not a species encountered so far this year which,

despite provenance, we added to the Note Book.

 THAMES VIEW

and

juvenile

COOT

"Sitting in the park waiting for you" - Georgie Fame

Time to go home, via the reciprocal route and straight

into an adult

 EGYPTIAN GOOSE

 accompanying a

juvenile.

Next day there was a Birthday Party for Grandpa with presents,

mostly a variety of nuts as being his favourites.

Unfortunately, being a silly Grandpa I over-egged

the custard on yet another rendition by Benny of

Ten Green Bottles

the file size being too big for the log to cope with

but you still get Elizabeth being a good girl as usual

and a fly past of the local

POLICE HELICOPTER
