We got up early today and headed down to Hyde Park to feed the herons. We left home at 8.45 and got to the Serpentine just before 10.
We found heron standing on the grass between the cottages between the triangle car park and the boathouse.
We saw an interesting looking Canada hybrid. It looked mostly like a Canada, but with a browner neck, head and beak, with white round its beak.
Here it is next to a Canada, for comparison.

We saw a few Egyptian goslings. There seem to have been a lot born in the park this year.

I threw it a pork belly steak, which it eat quickly. This attracted more herons. They didn't hassle me for food, they just stood still, waiting, and only reacted when I threw something.
I tried to feed each heron in turn, but it was difficult, as other herons would swoop in to try to grab the food.
As it was early, there were plenty of geese grazing on the grass.

The Greylag geese are my favourite. They're always very forward in asking for food.

After we left Hyde Park, we made our way over to Mudchute to visit the goats.
