Despite the drizzle spring seems to have arrived in the Park.
The frogs were making a racket in the wee pond, this albino stood out.

First I’ve seen on the park this year. Also note we have 8 hours between sunrise & sunset today 08:29 – 16:29.
Autumnal Circle
The Dabchicks in the park have had at leat a couple more chicks. I couldn’t really see them just took some photos.
Smoke & Light, barbecue in the park
Dabchick & chick. Only one chick at the moment but the adult’s partner seems to be stuck on a nest.
Blue Damselfly in Victoria Park this evening.
After being driven off their previous nest by coots the dabchicks are back in Victoria Park. Yesterday we saw a change over at the nest and perhaps an egg.
Note the dried bramble(?) right in front designed to confuse my auto focus.
I’d heard there was a woodpecker nesting in the park and seen the guys with the huge lens pointing at this dead tree. This evening we head a lot of chirping and saw this wee guy popping its head out. There seems to be more woodpeckers around this year.
A couple of the coot nests on the park pond had chicks, spent a while sitting in the sun watching the parents feed and protect on one. Few more photos on Flickr.
